Upon that replication issue wee joined, sad the question Rankin wee, whether the r o bbery had ben committed by Billing. Upon behalf of the plaintiff' it was submitted, that from the appearaese of the carriage it was manifest the box had not been r, moved from this parcels' department. in which it had been first placed, into the pasasager's compartment, and that it was taipssible fur any passenger there to force off the cover of the box and remove its contents without also re g the box itself late the pasaingers' compartment, and the guards were the ally persons who bad scenes to the pueslie departaut.

Urfa erese-emoninatioe, however, it was tumefied that a pratical experiment of what the witness stated wciuld the be the best mode of conviocing the jury. Aecordingly at sitting cf the coast Coffin was recalled. He stated that he had since the evening before made a box exactly each ie every respect u that from which the money bol been stolen, and placed it precisely in the same posidee in the very railway carriage in which the milliesep bail been committed, and that from the passengers' side be end/avowed t force it am with a ripping chisel. ffir 1, Q.C.

He deposed that he had ea. tenithie defendants' employment about flee years ago. For ewes years, about three, before the robbery , he had been goad of the day mail train which left loaddiagton at a quar ter past 10 o'clock, a.m. The box in question was carried by two porters, and plaid by witness in the panels depart. meat of the railway sari go. He was not aware that the box was missing until the arrival of the train at Bristol, and he had not the slightest knowledge that it bad been touched by sa d out mail then. There wore seven' passengers let is aad out of the compartment nest that in which the box was during the journey. Could not remember whether say cos had got in between Slough and Reading. Witness might have suppoeed the box in question contained money, from the fact that he had freqaently More taken similar boxes ; bat be had no ruses te be sere it contained money. At Swindon witsms left the train for a few minutes, perhaps five or six, for refreshments. A lady and children had got out of the sea compartment, bet witness could not say at what station. After the robbery witness was dismissed by the defendant , . He subsequently took a beer shop, and expended some money on improvement'. Mr. Bowden, his brewer, lent him 2001., and his cousin, Thomas Billing., • baker, in Lucas street, Commercial. road, lent him 1001. more ; besides these sums witness had also saved some money while in the company's service. H. had 781. depo sited is the savage beak, sad produced his bask book. He had made a considerable profit by the sale of poultry, meat, sad batter, while in the conspany'sservies. Oa erowesaminstion the witness stated that Mr. Bowden lent him the money this year. It might have been last May. In August, 1848, his COW ill lent him the 1001. la March, 1849 , drew 201. from the savings bank, and closed the sumac four or five months afterwards. The wages paid yawns by the employ were 28.. • week first, thee 27.. and 325. a week, as he was in charge of one or other el the trains. Had been Ia the polies before catering the cow any's service. He was not charged with keeping beck a money letter, bat his wife was charged with having oed a letter addressed to another persoa, aad it was upon opened left the polies fora. Witness was also conductor of an om nibus for six or eight menthe, on leaving the police. He wee charged with not having accounted to his employer for the fare of one passenger. Re was soon afterwards dis charged, and was not told for what mums. He was stationed for nearly two years in the vicinity of the Yorkshire /Pingo, while ia the police. Had there become acquainted with the personal appearance of some of the London swell nab. It was his duty to warn them off the premi. es. After be bad ceased to be an omnibus conductor,and before he entered the company's service, there was nly an interval of az weeks. For that period, and while in the police and as omnibus conductor witness attended on a gentleman, who paid him 75..13d. per week. On the day of the robber) had no doubt that parcels were put out at the Deice% station. It wee witness's duty to keep the doors of the wale compartments looked, and he did so. Did sot recollect having seen the box at Dideot. It it had been moved he should have noticed it ; but it was possible he might not if it had been covered with other par eels. Had so recollection of any passenger in articular haviog gone into or left the train on the day in question. He might have said when examined Woes the superintendent that a pr esager with green spectacles had attracted his attention, bet he could not now stets at what station he left the train—(a statement made by witness upon the occasion of the exa mination referred to was here read, and the witness was asked whether he meant to adhere to what he then stated.) He replied that he had sow no recollection of many of the facts he might have then stated, but he believed what he had then said was correctly taken down by a short-hand writer, and he adhered to it. By the statement it appeared that witness had men askus persons go in and out of the compartment seljoining that in which the box was during the journey, but could not remember that it bad been occupied by • single individual or by sue piciius looking persons. Mr. Bowden, the brewer, and Bin. Billings were called to corroborate Henry Billings as to the loans of the two sums mentioned in the course of his examination. The defendants' case being closed, Sir F. Thesiger replied at great length. Sir F. Pollock then amusedly the whole of the evidence. The issue the jury had to try was whether the box had been broken open by Henry Billings alone, or in co-operaden with other*. If they were of opinion that Billings was connected with the robbery, they were bound to find a verdict for the plaintiffs, but if they thought the evidence only threw sus picion on him, and that they were not convinced that he had either committed or been a party to the commission of the robbery, then they *bald Sad for the defendants. The joy, atter deliberating in their chamber for upwards of an hoar, desired to be informed by the learned Judge whether they cught to have direct evidence that Billings had committed the robbery before they could find for the plaintiffs ? Sir F. Pollock said it was net necessary to prove the tom minion of the robbery by an eye-witness of the fat. It was quite enough if the jury, as reasonable men, were satisfied by the evidence that Billings bed committed it.

To this Taylor replied that he would have same mosey, and the two then took her forward to a light, when Tulle made use of a very indecent expression and repeated his former violence, and called on his com panion to follow his example .

Before August last the appearance of Mir Craven had engendered suspicion in tie' mind of Ellen Sykes that she was enceinte. On the 4th of August she had occasion to go into Miss Craven's room, when she found her far from well, and Miss Craven own pleined that she was poorly, and, in consequence, remained us bed. Mr. Craven was at home that day, gave for • °Duple of hours, and he waited upon Miss Craven himself.

Ira= Ma. 841311BANT ADAM, Assiermer JUDOS. MUSIC AND DANCING LlCilll6llll. On the grand jury coming into court to present some bills, The bused Judge said he would take that opportunity to mention that in the course of the day a bill would, he be lieved, be submitted to them against some persons for keep lag an establishment for music and dancing, in coot:aunties of the provisions of the 26 George 11. e. 36, a descriptiem of proceeding which latterly had been dimmed to sous con test, is consequence of • win of prosecutions having has instituted under that statute, and as erroneous nodose SI On his views upon that act of parliament were abroad, he weed just state what really his views in that respect were. That act was pared in 1762, a period at which there existed in the antinomies number of pluses, which were vi sorted to the lowest and worst of characters —where poli tical ferment was 'Gradated, and when bull, hear, and badger-baiting, and dog-fighting,were continually ta k ingi place—a state of society widely different from that present day. This act was passed with the view of abolishing these low places, and its operation was confined to a circle of 26 miles round London ; so that at the present time, whilst musical entertainments could be given in any town beyond the 20 miles without a license, in no place or village within the twenty'aniles could such entertainment be legally given without a license from the magistrates. This haws had only one condition—which was, that the place for which the license was granted should not be opened until five o'clock in the afternoon, so that every concert given before that hour either at Exeter-hall, or the Store. street Musiethall, or any other licensed establishment, rendered the keepers of them liable to forfeit the leases, a feature la the matter which showed how utterly inapplicable the act was to the present state of society. It was supposed by many that the magistrates could not grant a limes for manic only to the exclusion of dancing, bat he was 'addled that the magistrates had the power to do so ; for the whole matter was vested in their discretion. In cases which had been tried jades had found parties guilty, but added that they saw no impropriety in the sauces these par ties had taken ; that indicated how the matter was regarded now ; but so long as the statute remained on the book it must be obeyed. Whether it was a wise law or not grand and petit jurors and judges had nothing whatever to do with. It was sufficient to knew that it was law. He did not think the act applied at all to publio-houses, but to places where public entertainments were given, such as assembly rooms, gaedens of public resort, and concert-rooms, but a far greater number of licenses were granted to public. hums than places of the latter description, for which the set wee intended ; and if, as it was urged, immorality originated from the proceedings these licenses sanctioned, why should a monopoly of that immorality be placed in the hands of publicans ? There existed with the public gener ally a taste for music and dancing, and lie c odd not see how immorality could arise from that tute ng indulged in if the places resorted to were placed at der efficient surveil lupe ; but, on the contrary , he thought that morality wou ld thereby be advanced ; and assuredly morality could not be promoted by prohibitory laws. If an essehliehment were kept open as an academy for teaching dancing—what might be teemed a "subscription dancing academy," where there were regular subscribers, his opinion was, that such an istablistanest did not tall within the operation of this statute ; for it was essential to render the statute ap- pliable that the establishments should be kept open fee the purposes of public entertainment—that the public were I , admitted without any restrictios whatever. He repeated that sub a law was utterly inapplicable to the present state of society, and he hoped there would seen be a change. To show that, originally. it was applied solely and only to places albs character he had mentioned, he should read an ex tract from Vie Sessions Records, "21st Oct., 1773.—1 t is ordered that no license be granted to Vie proprietors of lionelegh and Karylebone Gardens, or of any other place of public entertainment, but under a restriction prohibiting the exhibkion of fireworks." It was an act which was greatly misunderstood ; but in those cases which were occasionally brought forward under its provisions, jurors were bound to act upon their oaths, and he wu booed to &Ami ties:, to the best of his ability, the law as it existed, juetly and fairly. The grand jury then retired. A LvclT PittiONzn. A person named Collins was indicted for a felony, but the bill could not be taken before the grand jury in COON quince of a policeman, who was a witness in the case, being at the Central Criminal Court. The grand jury, having waited some time for the arrival of the officer, who had been sent for, came into court and requested to be dis charged, but the learned judge requested them to wait a short time longer. The messenger returned to the court and informed the judge that be bad applied to the common sujeant to allow the officer to leave for half an hour, as the grand jury were waking to take his evidence ; and that the common sunset had replied that he had already given one messenger his anew' r, and he should not delay the business of his court to forward that of the Middlesex Sessions. The learned Judge said he was extremely sorry that be should hare received such an answer from one of the autho rities of the City of London. It happened that the police men was a mitoses in two cases, one at this court, and the other at the Central Criminal Court, and although he had respectfully informed the Common Seijeant that the grand Jury at this court weee being detained solely bemuse the Gaon was not in attendance, having no other case before them, that learned functionary not only declined to accede to that request, but threatened to admit the policeman's recag i silences if he left the Central Court. Knowing that the Ocinamon Sajeant could easily dispense with the man's attendance for the short time he was required here, having a somber of other cases to dispose of. be (lie. Berjeant Adams) i l lend win sent a message to inform him that the grand jury hesse were still waiting for the man's attendance, and they bed just heard from the messenger the Common fierjeant's ugly. He was very sorry indeed to have received sock an answer, " Treat he would not delay his business to forward mine." It was not to forward the busmen of this court, nor to delay that of seethe/ court. but 'o release the greed jury from delay court, where they were staying only to take the particular ease in which the officer in question was concerned, but which they could not derv- of, because be was not in attend aaoe. The desire of facilitating public business, and saving the time of a body o: mercan•ile gentlemen, and the ex pense of the count-, did not appear to be iecipraeated by the civic authority. He should not be Justified in keeping this grand jury waiting the pleasure of the C eimon.tiese joint. He rgr tied that each an answer should have been sent, but he loin sited more that a failure of justice 'braid be the consequence of that answer. lie had no alternative hut to discharge the grand jury at ones, and he tendered them the thanks of the county for the services they had rendered. lie should ant, like the civic authority, threaten to estreat the p 'icemen's recognisance*, but, on the contrary, would allow him hie expense. The grand jury then retired. At the rte it g of the court the court es preoner was dis charged by prelamati.n, the r . being no bill bend against him. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Russell and Mr. Presdergest moved, on behalf of the glacial manager, by way of appeal, that the Earl of Mans field's name might be placed on f inding-u p list costributories to the above company ander the WAct. Lord Mans field had appliid for shame, and had, on Jane 30, 1845, ae. imowledgid the receipt of 10 shwa in a note to the seem tarp. The deed of eettlemeat was not then emented, nor bad the company been completely registered. No further step was taken by Lord Mansfield, who paid no attention to • cell made upon his in 1848. It was contended that Lord Mansfield had made himself liable to contribute. The ease had stood over until the decision of the Master in likacpuies case was known, that ems having been referred bath to bias to review his decision upon it. The Master, on ',viewing his decieioa, had cheeped his original opinion, and held Mr. Sharpus liable to be on the list. Mr. Melina, ter the Rail of Men-lield, submitted that he had r. to contribute to such a company as had been formed, sad ought nct to be on the list. Tee Vies•Chaneellor, who communicated with the Master before giving his decision, mid that the remit of the com munication was, that the Muter had changed his opinion, on as mutative consideration of the provisions of 7 & 8 Vie • e. 110, s. 23, being whiled that, alter complete ' , reared: n, the 'wormy was fully formed.

He agreed to USA shares in plyment of the amount dee to him, which was 251., but &Mind to sign the deed, and be toot the shahs upon an agreement that he was not thereby to con tract any liability. It was contended that this mem went did not exempt him from the liability to be plated oa the list. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Ferrer, for the respondeat, c.intentied that t s e pommel between Mr. Woodfati and the company was binding, and 'Lemony exoserated him from liability se between himself and the eoutpaay. Mr. Russell, in reply, said that Mr. Woodfall bad sold the shares at a premium after the eompsny was completely »- Owned, thus brining him within the authority of thespec'e Iwo Viee-Cnaneellor did not think the case turned on the bet of Mr. Woodtall having sold the sham befine or after complete registration: for, at the outs t, he contracted with them who ',pretested the whole company that he wee sot to be hauls, and that being so, he ought not to be placed on the list. Ibe appeal must be dismissed, bat the costs might some out of the general estate.

The Lord Mayor—Well, priwiner, t en. e that you are well known to the best judees of impoeten. What have you to ay? The Prieoner—Wlty, most of what you have beard, my lord, is true. I don't lino* in what gaol I have not been tor street mendicessey, and the moment I get out in I go again to that, until I go into my grave, I suppose it will - be all the same. It has been said I pretended to sell pencils when lithete police saw me. It is the foot t hat I alwa y s carry stationery about me, and that I pull it out when I see danger. Well, that seed a great many other things that are said against me are true, but I hope there Is some redeeming quality about me, and God willing I am willing to apply it to some use Don't send me to Bridtwell. but send me to Shoraditeh workhouse, where I bays a claim, and where, as the governor was once my tutor, he may help me to the office of echoolmas•er, which I can fill to the satisfaction of the parish. (Lsughter.) The officers of the Mendicity Society said the prisoner had made many appeals, which were attended with wonderful effect, but his vile propensity to a vagrant and filthy life soon showed itself, and he went on from bad to worse. The Lord Mayor sentenced the mendicant to hard labour for three months in the House of Correction, and said that his nest experiment of the kind should be marked by impri sonment for 12 months and a *punt whipping. GUILDHALL. IMPROPER TREATIIRNT OF PALMS' CHILDRIN AT TRZ WEST LONDON UNION.—D. Flynn. and his wile, Julia Firm, with Han d , were charged before Ald. Carden with begging, the offence having been proved, the male prisoner was sent to I rison for one month with hard labour, and his wife for fourteen days. That they shall re (wive no Christmas allowance, and the money found on them go to their support. With re spect to the children, they were sent to the workhouse to be properly taken care of. After they left the court, Mr. Roe observed to the alder man that the children had their heads shaved, with the ex ception of a slight line of hair that would just appear out ride the bonnets or cape of the children. The Alderman immediately ordered that the West - London Woe khouse aloha' should forthwith attend in the board room, and on inquiring into the circumstance" , of the case, he ascertained that the practice of shaving the pauper dell dren' e ffe ct ual Nal a usual one in that workhouse, and that this but inhuman " short cut " to dualities", was performed in noreuaiina of the orders of the ma who acted in accordance with the advice of the union barber. Alderman Carden asked why they were not cleansed with *Dap and water? The barber, whose name is Lead, mid it was impossible to do so. Alderman Carden—When you shave children's heads do you always leave a ring of hair, so that when a cap or bonnet is on the shaving will not be seen ? Mr. Lead—l do ; because the front is not always so bad as at the back. Alderman Carden—What do you get a week for your attendance on the paupers ? Mr. Lead—l am paid 7s. Bd. for attending to from 300 to 400 paupers to shave them. Chief Clerk—How much per head are you paid for shaving heads ? Mr. Lead—l don't like to answer that question, but I will if the alderman wishes et. Alderman Carden—You must answer it. Mr. Lead—Then I get 6d. each for shaving children s heads, and Id, each for hair cutting. Alderman Carden—l now see why children get their heads shaved. It tarns in so much into the p cket of the barber. It certainly makes up for the low price of 71. 6d. for attend ing 400 persons. Mr. Lead—Yea, ft does pay. Alderman Carden—This 1 consider a most cruel system, and it shall not end here. The matron, nurse and y . oursel must attend here to and I wia thoroughly investi gate the whole case. The children were then conveyed to the workhouse, with orders that proper care should be taken of them.
