SPORTING INTRLLIGENCL SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING. TO THE IDITOI OF THE DAILY KiWB. Sut,—Mr. Frail is determined to give a treat to those not yet tired of the racing season, 1862, having, in defiance of weather and the shortness of the days, issued a programme embracing three dozen contests to get through during the four days commencing on Tuesday ; and when it is cousalei ed how many short races there are among them, basin..s must commence at soinethiug like Newmarket Lours— and Newmarket time must be kept, too—to carry out the arrangement's at present made. Seven handicaps, a 2-yr•old and • weight for age race, with a match, cow prise the legitimate events already complete. a hurdle race and two steeple chases being aim before the public; and it happens fortunately the running at Worcester, Lamb , ' Hereford, and Liverpool has not tended to spoil them, all the good performers engaged having heavy penalties to carry. The Corporation Mate, six furlongs, is one of Tuesday 's features, and were all those to show that apparently have chances the Maus would be very difficult to anticipate. Spicebox, 5 yrs, fist 121 b, has not shown his head for some time, and hence his lenient treatment; his stablocompauion, Lord of the Manor, 6 yrs, ist 101 b, is equally well in, if be did not run the arrant rogue we have seen him lately. But Bleck,Lily, 4 yrs, tat, and Copernicus, 4 yrs, 7st 916, may prove more trustworthy than either of the pair, looking at the forms they have recently displayed, and Mr. Fayne's horse is no worse treated than when he ran at NYarwick. The Copeland Nursery Handicap for two year olds, about one mile, Truant, Fist Ilb, must be bandy for, looking at his three recent performances at New market, as he beat Chemisette in one race and Antidote in another, and finally ran a fair second to Footenoy at even weights. If the Epsom division only stand him, he may turn out one of the "good things" of the meeting, Cobbler, fist 101 b, and Microscope, fat 101 b, having to give him a great deal of weight, as they are good enough to stand in such company. For the Newport Gold Cup, about nine furlongs, lady Clif den has escaped a penalty, and the weight may bring her home, if thecouns isnot a little too far' for her, as the best of the 2-yr-olds—Barchettina— is running her at only 3916 for the two years, and she can give many fair 3-yr-olds that weight over her own distance. On Wed nesday, the Shrewsbury Cup, two miles, will be contended for ; and out of the thirty left in there should be at least enough runners—half-a-dozen—for the cup to be given, although I cannot see why the committee should take upon itself to withhold the prize under' any eircumetsoora, as the forfeits of Den-nC captors that go to the fund make up enough money to pay for it, and the "added money " to the other stakes s found in a sicuilar manner. Out of the lot before me, Fairwater, Aurelian, I)ulcibella, Bantam, Knutsford, Lady Ripon, Shepherdess, Master Begot, Corona, West End, Haddington, Canary, Captain Crow, Silkstone, Warminster, and Watch-' fire, have performed in public since the weights were ad justed ; and penalties have been incurred by Balham (141 be.), Shepherdess (71b). Aurelian, Dulcibella„ Captain Crow (51be each) and &Undone (31bs), which mint settle the pretensions , of the lot. Warminster ran an excellent third to Lady Louisa over a T.Y.C. at the lan Newmarket meeting, nod Watchfire ran in the same race ; but it was quite out of the latter's distance, and the two, being in re ceipt of lelhe each from Captain Crow, should beat not only the three-year-olds, but all the others mentioned above as having performed since the publication of the weights. Mr. Ten Broeck has accepted with a couple— Optimist, 5 yrs, Set 21b, and Amy, 4 yrs, 7st 61b—and the champiofi o f the pair may turn out the only troublesome opponent of the two W's, Optimist being pretty " well in," although he gives Watchfire and Warminster 101 b more then he would be required to do at weights for age. The Steward's Cap, one mile, will be influenced by the result of the Corporation Plato, Baron Munchausen, 5 yra, Set 121 b, being about the best-looking of the new members, and he may beat anything if in the humour to try. In the &lonian Stakes for 2-yr-olds, six furlongs, Barchettina has a 71b penalty, and she would not be expected to win if Mr. Osborne opposed Lord Stamford with Richard, neither be nor the Cornet having incurred extra weight by their victories. The Column Handicap, one mile and a quarter, exhibits Gardener among the candi dates, and he so easily won the Liverpool Autumn Cup that he must not be despised, even when laving to carry 151 b more weight than on that occasion. It is poenble, however, for the Shrewsbury Cup to bring a more formid able candidate to light, and the feather-weight, Cock Robin, 3 yrs, sst 111 b, has some claims to consideration. The Moukmoor and Carnival Handicaps are the only remaining legitimate events dosed, and these are entirely dependent on the results of the races I have already noticed, so that it is unnecessary to enter into them.—l am, Sc.. METEOR. TATrERSALLIC-MONDAY. Settling upon the Liverpool meeting occupied the atten tion of members during the early portion of the afternoon, after which some betting took place upon the Shrewsbury Cup and the Derby. The adjustment of accounts on the Liverpool events were satisfactorily conducted, and from all we could learn the demands for payment were met with a promptitude that augured wall for the stability of backers of horsca. For the Shrewsbury Cup, Optimist, who had been freely backed in City circles in the morning at 4 to 1, left off at the Corner at 5 to 1, taken ; while Captain Crow and Watchfire each found numerous supporters at 7to 1 (taken). For the Der by Lord Clifilen wu strongly supported at tto 1 ; . ' harometsm, the winner of the July and Chesterfield Stakes, having also a host of admirers who were equally "sweet" at the same price. The French horse, Hospodar, was next in demand, but Although for some time back it has been a moot point whether his form is equal to Lord St. Vincent's "crack," 12 to 1 was the shortest price taken about the representa tive of the broken up "Confederacy " at the close.

EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 17. (Bofors Vice-Chancellor Wood.) STATE OF THE COURT. Mr. Molt took occasion in the course of the day to call attention to the overheated and unwholesome state of the court. There was so little ventilation and so much heat that the building was hardly endurable. This state of things had been made the subject of comment and die approbatioo by learned friends behind him, whose views he certainly shared. The Vice. Chancellor said that the unsatisfactory state of We atmosphere in which they were sitting must be ad mitted by every one, but so defective was the building that he feared it was impossible to remedy it. When these courts were erected they were built simply for temporary accommodation. Time, however, had gone on, and rothiug had been done, and be hardly hoped to live to see any change for the better. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CONSERVATORS OP THE THAMES. -- These cases have occupied the court now for some days, and are still unfinished. THE EXPRESS, TUE§bAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1862. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The November adjonrd quarter eretions of the peace for the county of Middlesex morning at the Session-house, Clerkenwell.green. before Mr. Bodkin, resistant judge, and a bench of magistrates. The calendar contains the names of 75 prisoners committed for trial, 62 being indicted for felony, and 13 for 'Mader:manor. The Assistant-Judge briefly addressed the grand jury on the nature of their duties. _ _ After some cases of no special interest bad been disposed of, Skplten Edward Meaney, journalist, was placed at the bar to receive the judgment of the court. It will be remembered that this prisoner was tried at , these sessions on the 4th of October, on the charge of ob taming goods from three tradesmen living at Weetbourne. grove, by means of a forged letter purporting to have been issued from the office of Mr. Mayo, timid of the financial de partment of the International Exhibition. At the trial the jury returned a verdict, in the first instance, to the effect that the prisoner obtained the goods by false pre tences, by means of a forged letter purporting to have been issued from the office of the International Exhibition, but expressing a belief that he intended to pay for them. This verdict Mr. Payne refused to receive, and subsequently the jury returned a verdict of guilty. In consequence of the observations of some of the learned counsel who were present, and supported by Dr. Bateman, one of the magistrates on the bench, who contended that the first ver dict amounted to one not guilty, and ought to have been received, the sentence was deferred, and the question was submitted to the Court of Criminal Appeal, and that court on Saturday last confirmed the second verdict, which con vided the prisoner of the offences with which he was charged. On being placed at the bar, the prisoner presented a very altered appearance from that he assumed at the time of the trial. _ _ The cue gave rise to some dismission, but at length, Mr. Payne said the prisoner had been convicted of ob taining goods by false pretences by means of two docu ments bearing the forged signature of the official financial officer, and written on paper stolen from the Intern►tional Exhibition, so that he had no right to have this paper in his posse lion. By these forged documents it purpm ted that in a few days he was entitled to 431. for advertise. meats in a paper, but it appeared there was no such Asper in existence, and no advertisements • had been inserted as alleged in those forged documents. The subject bad been referred to the Court of Criminal Appeal, who had con firmed the verdict of the jury, and therefore be should proceed to pronounce sentence on it. The other matter as regarded Mr. Morrieb he should not deal with, bat it had been shown by these documents that he bad obtained goods from tradesmen by fraudulent representa.ions, and had they been other documents he might have bean tried for forgery. This offence had been conducted with a great deal of ingenuity, and must be visited with a severe sentence as a warning to others, for he had stolen the paper on which the forged documents were written. The prisoner said the Exhibition paper was open to every member of the press, who wrote their letters on it, and they also took it away in their books. Mr. Ptyne—Bia. you were not a member of the press. The prisoner—Yes, of the Lancashire Free Press. Mr. Payne—But there was at the time no Laneash:re Free Press in existence. I have allowed you to go at great length into circumstances which have really nothing to do with this case ; but you offence is one of a very serious character, and the sentence of the court is that you be im p:Boned and kept to hard labour for 18 months, to date from the time of your conviction. The prisoner was then removed. Alfred Thompson wu then put to the her to receive judg ment. Hia case was also submitted to the Court of Criminal Appeal arid the conviction affirmed. He got a surn of money from a woman at the Great Northern Railway under pre tence of getting her a ticket to go to York, hut he gave her a useless ticket and kept the money. Mr. Payne sentenced him to be imprisoned for 12 months. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. At the Mansion.bouse yesterday, two respectably-dressed men, named James Crowther and Samuel Goodburo, were placed at the bar, in the custody of detective officers Gayler and Bl'Leod, before the Lord Mayor, upon a warrant, charging them with conspiring together, and obtaining, by means of false pretences, during the years 1259, '60,'61, and the preneut year, various sums of money to a large amount belonging to their employers, Messrs. Laing and Merridew, a, Mincing-lane, colonial brokers. Mr. Woutner appeared to conduct the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh, barrister, instructed by Misers. Hillyer and Fen wick, appeared for the prisoner Crowther. The prisoner Goodburn was undefended. Mr. Wootner, in his opening statement, said the case in which be appeared to prosecute on behalf of Messrs. Laing and Merridew was one of considerable importance. The prosecutors were very extensive colonial brokers, and the prisoners, both of whom were in their service, had defrauded them of a very large amount of money, by a very ingenious mode ; and be was quite sure the case would receive his lord ship's undivided attention, as it was rather complicated, and one in which the prosecutors felt bouod to prosecute, as if such offences as that he should go into were allowed to go unpunished there would so longer exist any safety in the commercial world, and the confidence which should exist between master and servant would be entirely destroyed. The prisooerCrowther, itappeared, entered t.he service of the prosecutors in 1852, when the firm wits Wog and Campbell, and at the time of his discharge he was employed in the capacity of market clerk, at a salary of 5001. a year. Megan. Larog dealt in a great many different articles of produce, and the irisoner had his duties allotted to him, and unbounded confidence was placed io him. It was his duty to attend to the department under which bad come dry. salting goods, and he had the buying and selling of those good; and the firm gave him every discretion in the mat ter, and left it entirely to him, looking upon him to perform his duty without inspection. The other prisoner was book keeper, end had been in the prosecutors' service for upwards of 30 years, and was at the time be left them in receipt of a salary of ROC a year. His duties were undoubtedly con fidential. He kept all the books from time to tune, and likewise retained in his hands all the warrants relating to goods which were purchased, and he had no right to part with those warrant. until the goods had been paid for. In 1853 the prisoner Crowther introduced to Mr. Laing a person named Barber, a saltpetre manufacturer, re siding in Bermondsey. The prisoner described him es a MD of limited mean. but of high principle, and who wished to place the whole of his transactions in the hands of Messrs. Laing. Mr. Laing commuted to open an account with Mr. Barber, to buy and sell all hisgoods ; bat before be did sobs impressed it on the prisoner that Barber was nut to have a greater credit than 5C31. They accordingly com menced business with Mr. Barber, bought all his raw saltpetre, and sent it to him to be refined, after which they sold it for him, to reimbdree themselves with the profit of the raw material and pay Mr. Barber the difference. If that bad been faithfully maintained there would have been no risk to Mr. Wog, and the benefit would have been mutuaL The transactions were carried on with Mr. Barbet from that time until Marsh in the present year, when they were terminated in the following manner :—Mr. Merridew, Mr. Laing's partner, happened to bear that lir. Barber was purchasing saltpetre through another house, which was coo wary to bia contract with Mr. Laing, and informed Mr. Laing of the fact, when that gentleman immediately ordered the accouot to be closed. The next day Mr. Laing was in his office when the prisoner Crowther entered, and informed him that Mr. Goodburn bad gone away ill. Mr. Laing said he was sorry to hear it, and Crowther then said he was sorry to inform him that Mr. Barber's account was oonside-ably overdrawn. Goodburn was sought for, but could not be found. The next day, however, he made his appearance at the counting-house, and Mr. Laing asked him to make oat Mr. Barber's account, and see how it stood. He did so, and it turned out that Berber was indebted to the firm to the amount of upwards of 7,0001. He was asked how it was he bad allowed Mr. Barber to run in debt to that extent, and he said he had done so in the hope that the profits of his business would liquidate the debt. He bed allowed it to Increase from time to time, until at last he had been afraid to say anything about it. That being the ease, Crowther was called into the office and told it was impassible for him to stay, he must quit the service, which he did. At that time, however, Messrs. Laing sad Merridew were not aware of the manner in which this account of Mr. Barber's bad been allowed to iLIMISOIL The matter was ioveritigated, and it was found that Crowther had bought and paid for raw material, and Barbee was debited for that Amount, and instead of the refined material coming back into the hands of the firm, it was found that Crowther bad sold it himself through various other brokers, and thus diverted the money which was the 'produce of those isles from reaebiug the hands of Menem Laing and Merridow. Berber was applied to, to hand over any books which he might have relative to his transactions with the prisoner, which he did, and it was discovered that on all the refined saltpetre which Crowther had sold for Barber, be had charged the latter fifteen per cent., which was more than Mr. Barber got by refiniug it, and the consequence was, with this large ba• lance against him at Mean. Laing and Merridew's, Barber had become hopelessly insolvent. Besides these trosac tire, it appeared that Crowther had purchased a large quantity of worthless tartar on his own account, and eold it to the firm, and had entered it at 60e. per cwt., it being not worth half that. Re discharged them of that amount by entering it as sold to Mr. Barber. who on refining it found that it was worthier, and that he had lost about 1,2001. by the transaction. This latter transaction was directly contrary to the stipulations made with Mr. Crow ther at the time Mr. Laing engaged him. He had been for merly engaged in some chemical works, and when Mr. Laing engaged him, the stipulation was that he should entirely abstain from doing any business on his own account, and devote himself entirely to the interests of the firm. The prisoner passed the warrants over to Barber, who was insolvent, end thus the firm had lost the whole amount, and Barber had lost 1,200/. by the in feriority of the article. The manner in which Crowther had been enabled to allow so large a balance to accumulate was this:—The warrants were planed, as was thought, in the safe keeping of the prisoner Goodburn, who, contrary to his duty, had, from time to time, allowed Crowther and I Barber to withdraw the warrants without receiving the money for them, and thus enabled them to defraud the firm to that amount. Goodburn had for the last five years been keeping the firm in ignorance of the gradually in creasing balance against Barber, and he should be in a po sition to prove that be was as much at Barber's place as Crowther was. Besides which Goodburn bad actually falsi fied the account, for when Mr. Campbell retired from the firm in 1832, Goodburn was asked if &lithe accounts, and that in particular, were good, and he said yea ; and in conse quence of that Mr. Laing paid Mr. Campbell his share of the business, includinghis share of the Barber amount. Mr. Woutner said the case he bad at present opened assumed the form of conspiracy, but it would be a question here after whether the prisoners would not have to account for the graver offence of larceny. He was not in a condition to complete the case on that occasion, and he should merely call Mr. Laiog, and then ask for • remand. Mr. Seaton Laiog was then examined at considerable length ; after which Mr. Sleigh said he did not intend to go into a lengthy cross-examination then, as it was a very grave charge, and one which required some consideration as to the course to be pursued ; but inasmuch as it was shown that his client was carrying on business in Fenchurchatreet, he would ask his lordship to admit him to substantial bail. There were plenty of gentlemen who were willing to oome forward. The prisoners were remanded, but admitted to bail, them selves in 2,0001. each, and each in two sureties of 1,0001. BOW-STREET. Three strong welbdressed young men, whogave the names of James Marriott, John Allen, and Laurence Merril', were charged with • violent atta ck on Mr. W. Job North cott, tailor, of Chapel-street, Lamb's Conduit street, in Long-acre, at three ( - o'clock in the morning. - - - - The prosecutor, examined—l was returning home, through Long-acre, at about three o'clock in the morning of the 12th inst.. when I saw three men coming towards me. Two of them (Marriott and Allen) came up to me, and Marriott struck me • severe blow at the back of my neck, which felled me to the ground, where I received a kick in my back. Allen kept me down, and attempted to ride my pocket'. I struggled with him, and cried " police," when the approach of a constable alarmed the prisoners, and they ran off without having succeeded in robbing me. I could not indentify the third man. Edward Macgloin, 40 F, deposed to having wen the pro secutor on the ground, and three men upon him. They started off on seeing witness, but hecaptured Allen, and sent another officer after Marriott, who was also taken subse quently. Gordon, 323 A, had seen all the three prisoners together the same evening in company with • woman named Mit. chell, and Sherriff appeared to be the worse for drink. Wit ness last saw them within 100 yards of the spot where the attack on prosecutor took place. of the F division, said—On . hearing of the case, and receiving a description of the prisoners, I went to 8, Green-street, St. James's, and found the prisoner Marriott' in the sioond-floor front-room, in bed. I told him I should take him into custody for being concerned with "Donovan" (Allan) in knocking • gentleman down in Long-acre. He said, " All right, go quiet, and don't show me up." I found between the bed and the mattress • life-preserver, a crow bar and jemmy, eight skeleton and pick-lock keys, &n. On ti's same evening (12th inst.) I went to the Spies, and found Shemff there. I had seen them together in Coram-street on the evening before the robbery. Sergeant Matthews had also seen tb 3111 together a few mi nutes before the robbery. They were well-known to the police. The prisoners denied the charge, and one of them wanted to know what the gentlemen had tocomplidnof. He wasn't robbed of anything. Mr. Corrie committed them for trial, and hoped the inspector would see that the prosecution was conducted by counsel. Allen—flint I allowed to ask the prosecutor a question ? Mr. Corrie—You have bad every opportunity of doing so, and you may do so still, although thecase is closed. What do you want to ask him ? Allen—Well, I want to ask him, if be was a respectable member of society, what he was doing in the streets at 3 o'click in the morning. Preston:or—l have already stated that I was returning home from a gentleman's in Pimlico. Prisoner—Wasn't you dead drunk? Prosecutor —No. I was partly stunned from the effects of the blow. Prisoner—Why, you couldn't speak plain at the station. Sherriff—l should like to know what there is against me. The prosecutor has said he cannot identify me, and I can prove that I was io bed at the time, drunk and incapable. Mr. Corrie—You were seen in the company of the other primeness shortly before the robbery, and the witnesses have spoken to a third man concerned in the attack. That is the evidirsie against you. Marriott—]f the man has not been robbed what is there against us? Mr. Corrie—The offence of assaulting a man with intent to rob him is just the same. The attempt is punishable for life. Sherriff—Then I should like to go to the Old Bailey, if we are to be committed. Mr. Cowie—You will bare your wish gistified, as I iu bound to send all thew) caws there. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - - Edward Warren and Frederick William Smart, both furniture brokers in Crown-court, St. James's, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, the first-named with creating a dis turbance, and the latter with attempting to rescue Warren from custody. They were both further charged wrth being drunk and disorderly. Wilson, 39 C, said that on Saturday night he saw Warren drunk in Great Crown-court, quarrelling with another man. He requested him to desist, and not cause a disturbance, and as he believed the two men were going to fight he took him into custody. The other man went off. On the way to the station with Warren, Smart, who was drun'.:, pushed him (Wilson) against the wall, and he was subse quently taken into custody. Wanes said that the constable called him a " brothel keeper" and a " thief," and said he would wring his nose off." lie was at the time removing some furni ture, and he asked the constable to clear some boys away who were annoying hum, but the countable said be would tether take him into custody than he would the boys • and on his coming out of the house the constable seised him by the neck, twisted bim round, and then took him into custody. A witness named Thorubcry said he saw Smart standing at his door, and as they bad both seen what had occurred, he suggested that they should go to the station as witnesses for Mr. Warren. They west together to the stntioo, and Smart went in and was asked what he wanted, and on his saying that he came as a witness, the constable seized him and charged him along with the other (Warren). All Smart, who was quite sober, had done, was to follow to the station. He (witness) was also collared at the station, and the constable called out, " Turn him out," and he was turned out. Some cootradictory evidence having been given as to whe ther defendants were sober or not, Sergeant Brady, 15 C, on duty at the Vine-street station, and John Richar dson, 167 C, acting gaolor at the station, said that both defendauts were drunk. The sergeant said that Smart came to the station, and was so violent in hie conduct that it was impossible to reason with him at all, and he was charged with rescuing Warren. The defendants were bailed out in the course of the evening. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the whole question was whether the defendant. were drunk or not, and he was inclined to think that they were, but as they had already been locked up he would discharge them. MA ItYLEBONE. A rather short, slender man, well dressed, named Janes Wadden, aged 211, who gave his address as of 42, Salis bury-place, Lock's-fields, and who de eribed himself as a hairdresser, was brought to the oourt in the custody of Mr. Charles Burrows, inspector I) division ; Martin, 267 ; and Wilkins, 244 1), clisrged with cutting the throat of his wife, with intent to murder her, at No. 3, New Church street, Edrware-road,s coffee-shop kept by a Mr. Cobley. Tbe court and its precincts were so crowded that an extra body of police bad to be mot from Marylebone-huie station to keep the peerages clear. It may be as well to state here that the prisoner and his wife west into the coffee-shop, and miter a little while went up to bed to a room on the second floor back. After they had been up there about an hour Mr. Cobley was diaturbed by loud streams, erd on going up and entering the room be saw the prisoner and his wife, and at • short distance off an open num and • small beg, capable of holding such an instrument. Ow his (Mr. CobUy's) asking who had done it, Mir ding to the cut in her throat, prisoner said his wife hai done it herself. The wife, from whose wound the Wor I was oop'ously flowing, smiled, and with a perfect look of reason, shook her head, as she could not speak, to indi cate "No." Tl•e police were instantly summoned, and I Burrows at once called in Dr. Omves, of New tame, Edgware-road, and Dr. Kirby, of 77, Cnaneught tenses, Hyde-park, who promptly attended, and, whilst they were attending the poor unfortunate woman, ex pressed to the inspector that they considered it a hopeless awe, sad recommended the megistrates atiaadawn to take I her depositions. Mr. Barrows at once went and sum moned Mr. Yardley, who attended by the side of the bed about a quarter to one on Monday morning, and took the following deposition from the woman : "My name is Maria Colchester Harriett Wadden. I lieu at the Pitt's Head, High-street, Portland-town, with my father. Last night he took a razor oat of a bag, and I did not think he meant to touch me. He drew it across my throat. He mid nothing at all at the time. The beg produced is what he took the razor from. He has before threatened to do it for me." Prisoner was here informed that he might put any question to his wife. Prisoner then salted her it he had done it! The wife replied that he had. Prisoner-1 did not do it, so help me God. He then asked her if she had nut upon one occasion cut her own throat ! The wife (through the medium of a pencil)—l did cut my throat twelve months ego. This using the whole of the statement of the wife taken upon that omission, the magistrate returned home, and the prisoner was conveyed to the station, from whence he wee removed yesterday morning to the court. Writ:gibe sittiegof the court yesterday further intimation was given to Mr. Ysodley that his presence was required to attend upon the woman, and in company with Mr. Phillips (chief clerk), and the two medical gentlemen, be proceeded to where @be was lying. Her evidence was corroborative of the facts already stated; after which prisoner was remanded for a week. --- irpi.;;ight o'clock lut evening she lay in such a state u to leave no hopes of her recovery, the throat being cut in most frightful manner. SOUTHWARK. George Peppy', a milkman, carrying on business in Bent street, was placed at the bar before Mr. burchem for final examination, charged with committing • serious assault upon another mamma, residing in Upper Bland-street, Dover road, by kicking him in such a frightful manner that he was compelled to be removed to Guy's Hospital, where he re mained several days. Mr. Edwards prosecuted, and Mr. bitten, from the offio of Mr. Chipperfield, defended the prisoner. The prosecutor, was brought to the court in • cab, and with some difficulty was removed to a seat at the solicitors' table. On being sworn, he said that on Thurs day evening, the 6th instant, the defendant came into his shop, and in an authoritative manner demanded • milk-can, which he alleged witness had of his. He told him he had none of his, when the prisoner said that if he did not give him his can, be would have one of witness's cans, pointing to one on • shelf. Witness told him he should not, when the prisoner snatched one, and put it in hie pocket. Witness seized bold of him, and demanded it back, and on his refusal, took it from him. The prisoner then became so abusive that he considered it necessary to ejrct him from the house. When at the doorway the ' seized hold of the doorpost with one hand, kicked him with all his might on the lower part of the abdomen. He fell, and was attended by two medical men, who sent him to the hospital. Hewn now being att./43(6i to at home, but was suffering so severely that many months must elapse before he would be able to walk or attend to his business. Witness was creel-examined at some length by Mr. Dittoo, but nothing contradictory was elicited. For the defence it was urged that they had a quarrel, and that the kick was accidentally given. Mr. Bonham observed that it was a very gross assault, and committed in a very savage manner. He sentenced the prisoner to the House of Correction for one mouth, with hard labour. THABLEEt. Henry Finally Wilhelm Ter Harr a foreign Jew, who gave his address, 144, Gloucester-street, Dublin, and de scribed himself as a merchant, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with smuggling 19165. of foreign manu factured tobacco and cigars. The prisoner had been remanded to enable the Solicitor of Custom, to sue for a penalty of 1001., and an information was row exhibited, and Mr. Beverly, from the Customs' solicitor's office, appeared on the part of the crown. Mr. John Harris, an examining officer of Customs, stated that on Friday last, on the arrival of the Waterloo steamer from Rotterdam at the St. Katharine-wharf, he searched the ponsengere luggage, and nearly the last wbo prezented himself was the prmoner. He asked him if be had any goods liable to duty, to which he replied, " Only 75 cigars. The prisoner then opened a large box, containing toys, on the top of which were 75 cigars, of which be took possession. He told the prisoner he could have them again on pdyment of the duty. He then closely examined the box, and found that the interior of it was very shallow as compared with the exterior. He manned it, and discovered a false bottom to the box. He took it out and a quantity of tobacco and cigars were disclosed to his view. There was a spaoe of 2/4 inches between the false and the real bottom of the box, and he took from it 1111 b. of cigars and 7llb. of tobacco. He seised the tobacco and cigars, and upon speak tug to the prisoner about it he maid, "I'll pay the duty," which be of course was unable to take, and arrested the prisoner. Mr. Hodd, from the Queen's warehouse, Custom-house, said the value and duty of the tobacco and cigars amounted to 9/. 19s. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he came from Ameterdom to Rotterdam, and before leaving the former place his brother's servant packed up the box. He was not aware there wee a false bottom to the box, or that there were any cigars or tobacco in it until the officer made the seizure. . . Mr. Woolrych—l would recommend you to pack up your own boxes before you leave Holland again. The prisoner—l should like to pay the duty. Mr. Woolrych.-ob, no. You can't be allowed to do the., I believe you knew the tobacco and the cigars were cooeea/ed in the box, and I can assure you English Custom house office's are nut so cagily taken in. You are fined 1001., and in default of payment six months' imprisonment. The prisoner was not prepared with the money, and was locked up. LAW OF LUNACY 111 CRIMINAL CASES. " The report of an important medico-legal trial appeals at p. 550. The facts are briefly as follows :—Mr. M'Cree, a lieutenant in the Indian army, whilst returning home from India, made, during his voyage, without any ap parent motive or appreciable provocation, a murderoos assault on the steward of the ship. Mr. M'Crea was im mediately placed in irons, and continued so confined until the ship arrived in port. It was for this criminal assault Mr. M'Cree was tried at the Old Bailey on the 30th ultimo. Dr. Winslow was the only medical witness examined as to the prisoner's state of mind. "We especially refer to the facts et this ease in order to ahow, not only the enlightened advance made in our courts of law on questions involving the issue of insanity, but the marked respect and deference paid to the opinions of a class of scientific experts who have of late years, for no sa tisfactory ramie, been exposed to much unfair attack, and to great and undeserved odium. It will be perceived that whilst Dr. Winslow was giving his evidence as to the state of the prisoner's mind, and previously to his leaving the witness-box, the judge stopped the case, telling the jury that .if they were to acquit the prisoner on the ground of inmanity he would be consigned for life to • lunatic asylum. In order to avoid so fearful a contin gency, the judge directed that the jury should convict the p_riaoner ' unlawfully wounding.' This they at once did. Without any further remark Mr. Baron Martin, recognising that the prisoner was no more responsible for his assault than a man would be if be refused to walk when in a state of paralysis—in other words, that his mind was, when he committed the crime, in • diseased state—immediately ordered that he should, after proper securities were given, be transferred to the care of his relations. All honour to the judge who has thus inaugurated so humane and philosophic a course of procedure. How monstrous, after acquitting • prisoner on the ground of insanity—in other words. after recognising him to be perfectly irresponsible and utterly incompetent, as the effect of diseased brain, to appreciate the nature of his action', or to control them—to consign him for the re mainder of his life to confinement in a public lunatic asylum ! The law pronounces the prisoner Not guilty,' affirming that he is innocent of the charge alleged against hirn ; that the crime for which he is arraigned and tried has not bean committed ; and in the same breath subject. him to the severest punishment (apart from death on the scaffold) to which a human being can he exposed ! Yon are innocent, Merl the jury ; you Were insane when you perpetrated the act ; • diseased condition of the organ of thought had quite disabled you from exercising healthy power of self-control ; • fearful hallucination drove you to the commission of the crime alleged against you ; you ceased to be • responsible agent, and therefore we acquit you. The prisoner, congratulating himself uu his happy escape, is about to leave the dock anal agaiu breathe the free air of heaven, when the judge exclaims, ' Stop ! The jury, continues the judge, ' Nay you are not guilty, and I agree in this verdict. I have now my painful duty,to discharge. " Not guilty," I admit you to be ; nevertheless I am compelled by the law to consign you to Bethlem Hospital, and there you will have to re main the companion of raving and violent lunatics for the remainder of your life.' Can, we ask, such • state of the law be permitted to coutinue unaltered? Is it not mon strous that punishment of so severe a character can be in flicted on e person pronounced innocent of the offence im puted to him ? We hail the humane and philosophic judg ment of Mr. Baron Martin as the commencement of a new and bright era in the criminal jurisprudence of this country. Dr. Winslow has rendered • great service to humanity by his persevering labours in defenses of the helpless insane criminal."—TAt Lancet, Nov. 15.

Last night, the first meeting of the members of the Law Amendment Society for the present session took place at the society's rooms, Waterloo-place; Lord Baounithit in the chair. Amongst those present were Lord Stanley, Sir F. Kelly, M.P., Mr. Collier, M.P., Mr. Free land, M.P., Mr. W. Hawes, &c. The Lard Mayor of London was, amongst others, elected • member of the society • The CHAIRMAN is addressing the society began by re ferring to &letter which he had received from Lord Napier , the secretary of legation at St. Petersburg, stating that the, principal provisions of the Code Napoleon were row extended to Russia, and that the judicial system was totally sepa rated from the legislative and executive departments. This improvement was mainly due to the efforts of M. Ge garine, President of the Council of the Empire. His lord -1 ship then referred to the exertions of Mr. Napier, the ' late Lord Chancellor of Ireland, to effect the establish ment of a department of justice, and hoped that in the next session of parliament renewed efforts would be made to bring about this desirable result. There were some sin gular recent proofs of the want of such a department. A capital conviction took place in Scotland by the unanimous verdict of the fifteen jurymen who tried the case, and 1 with the entire approbation of the judge. Was it not ex traordinary that they should have lived to see a meeting of between 2,000 and 3,000 persons assembled to pre reap lutioos nominally in favour of mercy, but in reality to pew censure on the judge and jury who tried the case? He understood from a high judicial authority in Scotland that such was the clamour in Glasgow that it would not be rife for any of the jurymen to appear in the streets ; sad as for the judge, his fate would probably be that of the personage on whom he passed aentence—without, however, the memo forms. (laughter.) That wee • great ecandaL He had no doubt that the jury and the judge were right, and Pat the conviction was well grounded. But suppose it was not—suppose both the judge and jury to have been wrong, it was not by meetings of thou sands of persons and agitation all over tae country that the error was to be corrected, if error there were, because that approached vary nearlyto what he would desig nate by a word borrowed from the now dim-United States— Lynch law. (liear,,hear. He had also received a copy of a sermon delivered by a man with the same intent. If the pulpit thus misused, 7 a and perverted its funn els:mnd, tions to canvass judicial proceediogs, he did not know where it was to stop. (Hear, hear.) Hs right hon. friend the Secretary of State directed an inquiry into the case, and after granting a respite for that purpose he did not think that the capital punishment could be carried into execu tion. But his nghtshoo. friend stood in • very awkward predicament at that moment. He believed there ought to be • lawyer to guide the Secretary of State in matter of this kind. If his Evidence Act of Bye years ago was extended to the case of prisoners charged with criminal offence., provided it was optional, much of the recent scan dal to which he referred would be avoided. if this woman had been examined, and her evidence sifted by cross-exami nation, he believed she would have been couvicted, and the public would have been entirely satisfied that the convic tion was right. Her story was not told at the proper time, and there was no means of sifting it. The objection that every person who refused to be examined would be regarded as guilty would be obviated by the judge telling the jury that there might be other reasons on account of which the prisoner might refuse to be examined. He ought, perhaps, to mention that • letter had been received from Germany, elating that a Savigny Society had been established there, the object of which was to give premiums for dissertations on international and comparative jurisprudence. Already 2,0001. bad bees col lected on the continent for this purpose, and he should suggest that a committee should be appointed here to cor respond with the learned persons who took up this matter. He should also mention that a very useful periodical had beenatarted by Mr. B. Jerrold, called The LatedweLiveUnder. He thought he might say for the House of Lords, that there was no indisposition there to pus safe and temperate improvements of the law, and be was sore that, generally speaking, they would receive support in the House of , Commons. (Cheers.) Mr. PALIIIB, the secretary, then read the annual address of the council, which gave an account of the peat labours of the society io procuring amendments of the law, and pointed out the subjects on which legislation was still desirable, re. tarring more particularly to the creation of • department of justice„ the consolidation of the statute law, the private bill legislation, the reform of the ecclesiastical courts, the concentration of the courts of law, patent law amend ment, &c. Lord STANLEY, in moving the adoption of the address, said he thought the society had no reason to be dissatis. fled with the program which it had hitherto made in the way of law reform. A beginning had been made in the direction of a consolidation of the statute law, but that was a vast eubject, sod as far as he could see, it world occupy the attention of at least a generation to come. And bills had been passed on the subjects of divorce, bankruptcy, and the transfer of laud. The legislature, therefore, could not be charged with entire negligence on thequestion of law reform. Withregard to the legal legislation before them, there was some that was not in a state to be dealt with by parliament at once. The law of Weans, for instance, was one. Sir H. Cairns moved for the appointment of a royal commission to consider the question, and the commission would sit in a few days. This was the most difficult and perplexing question he ever had .to consider. Scarcely any two persons were agreed upon it. Be rather hoped than expeeted that they would come to some satisfactory result, but at all events the question could not, come immediately before parliament. With regard to the concentration of the law courts, they were all agreed that it wouldibe an advantage, but the present difficulty was, with an expenditure unpre cedented in time of peace, to find the mosey to construct the new courts._ (Hear, hear.) The creation of a depart ment of justice did not seem to attract much public atten tion. The majority of parliament were sot well prepared to consider any plan that might be introduced for this pur pose, and be doubted therefore whether anything would be done at present. With regard to the con solidation of the statutes, the most feasible plan seemed to him to be the creation of some officer or offic whose business it should be to examine all bills passed through parliament, so that when a new bill peeped it should be embodied in the legislation of which it formed part ; for there would be little value in consolidation if the same work was to be carried on perpetually. He believed that parliament would be disposed to consider favourably any good measure for the reform of the acclasiastiel courts. The difficulty in this case was not as to the principle, but the obstacles arising from questions of patronage and vested interests. But as difficulties of this kind bad been overcome in other cases, so they might in this. There was an unanimity of opinion that the private bill legislation required a change, but there wu not the same unanimity of opinion when they came to dis cus what the change was to be. The railway bills now formed the main portion of the private bill legislation. There was • tendency on the part of railway companies to go to a reckless and unjustifiable expenditure in promoting or opposing, it might be, some small branch line. (Hear, bear.) He did not know that it was possible altogether to prevent that, because one set of men contributed the money, and another set of men spent it. (Hear, hear.) The shareholders certainly had nothing like a real and effective control over the directors. (Hear, bear.) That was • matter in which they must help themselves, by organising vigilance committees, with seise of scrunching ethictlyhow the money was spent. This was a matter in which parlia ment could not help them. As the questions which had to be decided by the railway committees of parliament were questions of discretion rather thee of law, and as their functions were rather administrative than judicial, be did not see to what other tribunal they could be referred. Sonic arrangement might perhaps be made between the two houses which would render it unnecessary for • commit tee of one house to go over the same ground which had been traversed by • committee of the other bona. But he believed the main remedy wee to be found in the shareholder exercising • more vigilant watchfulness over the directors, and compelling them to make public everything for if shareholders did not protect their own interests they must not expect others would do this (or them. (Hear, hear.) He bad studied the reports of the society, and be did not think it vanity on their part I to asy that the ideas ventilated in that room had not been without effect in promoting law reform. (Hear, bear.) Sir F. KILLY seconded the motion, and in doing so re ferred more particularly to the necessity for consolidating the statutes and establishing a department of justice. After a brief discussion the motion was adopted, and • vote of thanks to the president terminated the proceedings.
