IMPERIAL PA RLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS.—Fnmsr, FED. 21. • • TIE Hot ba of Lonna sat but a few minutes, and transacted no business of importance HOUSE OF COMMONS. -FRIDAY, FRB. 91. IN the Hones of Costecuss, Lord A. CurroN, I who had a notice on the paper for a series of rasa lutions respecting the condition of Ireland, post poned them until Tuesday, when he said ho would move them as an amendment on the motion of Mr. Magire. Mr . G. HARDY stated, in reply to Lord Enfield, that, having last autumn discovered that the police had an amount of work cast upon them which pre vented their obtaining essential rest, he had directed the increase of the force by 1,000 men, and l 0 inspectors and 100 sergeants, making 1,120 in all. Be was having conducted an inquiry into the state of the force, and until that inquiry was com pleted he could not say whether there was any in tention to make any further alteration in the num bers pay, duties, or organisation of the force. Lord STANLEY, replying to Mr T. Baring, stated that in September last the Mexican govern ment gave notice to our chargd d'affaires in Mexico that they would hold no official communication with the representatives of a government which had recognised the Emperor Maximilian. Of course her Majesty's government had no option but to withdraw the legation, which they did, and at present no diplomatic relations existed between the two countries. The conventions remained in force, but it was a grays question as to the mea sures to enforce them. Mr. Goscass called attention to the last report of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and to the continuous increase of tho burdens laid and pro posed.to be laid, in London and elsewhere, on the occupiers of rateable property. He said the public opinion was that many sanitary improve ments should be made in London, and the Bletro politan Board of Works had many ambitious schemes in hand. But the problem was how these improvements were to bo carried on with the pre sent limited resource/. The Metropolitan Board .4 Works published annually what they called an abstract of account; but it was impossible for any one to gather from it a correct idea of the *tato of their affairs. It appeared that their expenditure between 18.57 and 1806 had amounted to nearly eleven miUions, having increased from 90,0005 in the former year to 1,070,0001. in the latter. For certain purposes parliament treated London as a whole ; for other purposes they treated it as so many separate cities. They said improvements should be made, and they taxed the poorer dis trictsfor improvements in which they had really so interest, which was manifestly unjust. The local taxation of the metropolis amounted altogether to nearly three millions and a half per annum, and there was no pro:ability of any decrease. They were at the end of their resources, and if further improvements were required, the question was, where was the money to coins from? House pro perty was taxed to the utmost, sad the tax came to a point that interfered with capital going into ' the building trade. They must find new sources of taxation if improvements were to be carried out. It had been sa g that the owners of property should be taxed, and to a certain extent that resource was available, but except in cases where the occupiers had leases the burden would, in the end, fall on the occupiers. Another suggestion was, to equalise the rates all over the metropolis. But these suggestions went on the assumption that only one description of property—house property — was to be taxed, and it had been asked why should we not impose an income tax. It might be objectionable to allow local authorities to im pose an income tax ; hut this might be obviated by the government levying the tax and giving up the house duty, which yielded about an equal amount. _ _ ..... Colonel HOOO defended the Metropolitan Board of Works from the attacks that had been made upon it. Colonel SVKIL.4 remarked that the Metropolitan Board of Works was trying to swallow up every other local authority. It was an smperiunt in int perio which ought not to be allowed to exist. Mr. Avaros defended the bill which he brought in last session for taxing the owners of property. He pointed out that the finances of the metropolis were in a state of confusion, duties being specially mortgaged for loans, and he suggested that there I should be a consolidated debt for the whole of the metropolis. Tho discussion was continued by Mr. NLVILLE Gur.svitts and Mr. HARVEY Lewis, and the latter was speaking when the house was counted out at ten minutes to ti o'clock. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The weekly meeting of the board was held yes terday, and the following letter was read : " iJ, Cheater-square, Feb. IR, 1868. " Dear Sir John.—lt is now nearly nine months since I intimated my intention of resigning my position as a member of the Metropolitan board of Works in conse quence of my many other engagements not permitting me to give the time necessary for the discharge of the duties of that office. I was, however, at that time informed that rumours prejudicial to my character and position were being circulated, which iodated me to delay my resignation pending an inquiry into th e . truth of these rumours, to which inquiry I not only sweated, but earnestly desired and even demanded. The Metropolitan Board of Works solemnly under- ! took such investigation, in which they have been engaged • during the past three months—arriving at length at the adoption of a resolution by a majority of twenty to seven distinctly affirming th..t the statements affecting me have not been proved. This conclusion, however, is so unsatis factory, both for the board and myself, tha t it appears to me there is but one course open for me to pursue—via., to take such proceedings as I ma be advised before a pro perly constituted legal tribuna l as will more clearly and emphatically disprove the ellegatione brought against me. Your board, however. having terminated the inquiry so . far as I em concerned, I now revert to my original inten tion, and beg herewith to resign my position as a member of the Metropolitan Board of Works, inasmuch aa my engagements during the time which h as elapsed have sos only not diminished, but eousidmbly increased. It oily remains for me to acknowled_x the courtesy and considers), Mon which have been extended to we by • large majority of the members of the board during my connexion with that body, and to snare you that although my official relations with the board now cease, I shall always have pleasure, whether in the Howe of dommone or elsewhere, in promoting the varied and important interests committed to your charge.—l am, dear Sir John, very faithfully your, Few. Doeuron. To the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Welke." Another long discussion took place in reference to the Furness contract for the Thames Embankment, conse quent on 'a motion by Mr. Le Breton which was with. drawn and the following carried in its dead on the motion of Mr. Tureer :—" That the board is of opinion that the charge against Mr. Roche of having promised to support Mr. Foram in his applica tion for the embankment contract on condition of Mr. Fur. new undertaking to take the granite he might require from the Lundy Granite Company is destitute of foundation. That the only connection of Mr. Roche with the trans action consists in his having, /his character of a solicitor employed by the Lundy Company, to draw up and obtain the signature of Mr. Furness to a entreat to take his granite from thatoompany, in pursuance of Rearrangement privately made with the company by Mr. Doulton. That the course taken by Mr. Roche was not intended by him to operate, and did not in fact operate, in any way to the prejudice of the public interests. That such a course is , nevertheless objectionable in itself, inasmuch se any con nection whatever, whether of a business or professional I character, between a member of the board and a patty who • lass contracted, or is in treaty for a contract with the board, in reference to the su bj ec t ma tt er of mush contract or treaty, is calculated to shake the confidence of the publics in the integrity of its proceedings."

This was an action to recover • certain sum for work done as an attorney and solicitor upon the retainer of the defendast, for money paid by the plaintiff for the de fendant, and on an amount elated. The defendant pleaded never indebted. Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Morgan Lloyd were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Thomas for the defendant. The plaintiff wee an attorney, and aba clerk to the vestry of Mileend, and the defendant was a chair and couch maker, and •meuilier of the vestry of St. Leonard's, Shorediteh. In UM, in consequence of an outbreak of cholera, the different parishes in the east of London ap pointed delegates to a committee which was to determine the meana by which that part of the metropolis could ob. tin a better supply of water. The delegates met and in structed the plaintiff, whom they appointed as their secre tary or clerk, to take the nemosiuy steps for applying to parliament for a bill on the subject. Tho proceedings in the matter went no further than the preperation of the bill, but the plaintiff'. coats amounted to lefif. Of that sum the share ref St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, was 471. lfo. 6.1., and the defendant being one of the delegates ap pointed by the vestry of the perish, the plaintiff now sought to make him liable for the amount. The defence was, that the defendant and his colleagues from St. Leonard's objected at a meeting of the committee to any expenses being incurred beyond advertising and other preliminary expenses, on the ground that the rest , - kitten of their vestry gave them no authority to incur any further liability. It was also said that the preparation of the bill was really a part of the prosecution of it which they had no power to sanction. The defendant said that at the meeting when the reso lution for an application to parliament was proposed be opposed it, intine.ting that the resolution of his vestry would not cover tbo expenses of such • proceeding. He afterwards attended no other meeting of the committee, but be gave no formal notice of his intention to withdraw hewn it. Two other vestrymen gees similar evidence. Mr. Keane said Le understood that the vestry of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, defended the action of Mr. Turner- Mr. Baron Martin—l hope they are rich. (Laughter.) Up to a certain point this ease is undefended. The only question is whether this gentleman is responsible for the preparation of the bill. I should have thought that it would here come under the head of preliminary expenses; but that is a question for the jury. Mr. Serjeant Parry slid the question was whether a vestryman could, under the circumstances, be personally liable. Mr. Baron Martin—The jury will have no difficulty in finding that the work was done on the credit of the per sons who were appointed delegates, though, as between them and the vestry, they ought to be indemnified. Mr. Serjeant Parry—Mat rs o matter of arrangement between them and the vestry. Mr. Baron Martin—But the delegates are respondble to Mr. Price in the same way as any other gentleman who employs an attorney. although they did not expect to pay the money out of their own pocket, and believed that they would be indemnified oat of the parish funds. Mr. Serjeant Parry—No doubt the vestry will relieve the defendant from all peewniary liability, but there is the question of principle, whether • vestryman, in such • case as this, is personally tesponsible. Mr. Baron Martin—l have no doubt myself that a vestryman, under such circumstances, is liable, but that is a mixed time:ion of law and fact, and it must be decided through the jniy. Mr. Serjeant Party referred to a case in which it bad been held that vestrymen who had authorised their ear wryer to take steps fur the defence upon an indictment for the non-repair of a highway were not responsible for the bill of costs of the attorney whom the surveyor had employed. Mr. Baron Martin—But the surveyor was an officer of the pariah. and it was as much his duty as theirs to employ an attorney, and by directing him to defend the ease they did not incur any personal liability. Mr. Serjeant Parry thought it was bard to make the defendant responsible, but would bow to the opinion ex pressed by his lordship- Mr. Baron Martin—The work has been honestly and bona tide done by the plaintiff, and it would only be • handsome thing on the part of the vestry of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, to pay their share of the expenses. Mr. Serjeant Parry said that parish was only interested to a small extent in the question, as only part of it re ceived water from the East London Waterworks Coen- Pan,. Mr. Baron Martin—Then they ought not to have inter fered iu the matter. Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 471. 17s. Cd. Sittings at Nisi irius.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron sad •e Special Jury.)

The plaintiff was a compositor, in the employ of Mews. Saville and Edward., printers, in Chandos-street, Strand. In the evening of they day after Christmas Day last, he arrived by train attho Cannon-street Station, and before he alighted, it was run into by another train, and he was not only very much shaken, but his arm was wounded, and some of Lb; teeth locacuod. He was laid up three or fonr weeks, :L.l was still in so weak a state that he could nor earn much more than half his usual wages, and his medical attendant did not think he would entirely recover for some months, if he ever did recover from the effects of the collision._ . _ . In eroerezaminstion, the plaintiff admitted there wea a dews fog at the tiwe of the accident, and said he was not aware that the train which caused the accident be longed to the London and South Western Railway Own- INY. Mr. O'Malley submitted that the evidence for the plaintiff showed no negligence on the part of the defen d ants, and that the plaintiff should be non.suited. The Lord Chief Baron said as there was a di ff erence of opinion among the judges whether the feet of an accident was evidence primal facie of negligence, be thought it better to leave the question to the jury, giving the Men dants leave to move. Mr. O'Malley briefly addremed the jury for the defence. He mid that the Cannon.street-statien, where no lees than 700 trains arrived and departed in • day, was one of the best managed in the kingdom ; and on the occasion in question the accident was to be attributed entirely to the fog end to the defendants' train being ran into by a train belonging to another compeny The Lord Chief baron tol d the jury the only questkas were—first, whether there was any neglivnce on the part of the defendants ; and, if there was, what damp* the pleintiff was entitled to.

She then went to some friends at Cambridge, and without returning to her husband she confessed that she was once more enceinte.

The report Of the directors, with etatemente acomat fur the half-yeariaidmg net December, 1867, to he submitted to the balfryeerly ordinary meetings of sham holders and mortgagees, on the 27th and nth Fehremsey iost., has Leen Memel The gross reosipts upon all sys tems worked by the company, including the Mearateata, have auroasted fee the half-year to 360551. 4a. 7d., which. compared with 320,7 M. 19s. 10d., the geese re ceipts for the corresponding period of 1866, tamers an in creme of 47,615(. 4s. 91, or 14.84 per mat. The gross expenses Incident to the revenue of the lest half-per (in. altulaug 14,8011. di, 10d. expended on renewal of the per uremia way, and 5,0001. charged towards the legal sad parliamentary expanses), have been 213,7141. 2a. 7d. as compared with 2•N1,, , Mi. Ila. Cal in 1666, showing a de creme of 19,6411. Ss. lid. The net result of the traffic for the half-year is a balance of 154,6411. 2a., earned at a per centage of 58.01 for working expenses, as compared with a net balance of 94,3641. 8.. 4.1 fur the 00T , !pending period of 1866, earned at 70.57 per cent. The tabular statemcuts give analysis of the gram receipts, as earned on the different parte of the system, and the working expenses properly attributable to each ; with a oompat non in detail of the receipts for the corresponding periods of 1865, 1866, and 1967. The result of the half year's working must, the directors say, be coneidered satisfactory, first as regards the absolute reduction of working expenses. and next, when it is borne in mind, that during the whole period all direct cornannication with the Great Northern Railway has been wholly closed fee passenger traffic, and partially for goods. A muside. table part of the increase in the receipts is no doubt attri butable to the feria Exhibition, though the traffic from this 'mires has net realised the expectations formed of it. The directors 7.lre ,n re gratified to assure the proprietors that the increase in the passenger traffic has arisen in a great measure from natural development, as proved by the weekly returns throughout the winter, and down to this time, while no excepticual sources of revenue exist. The goods traffic is not in a oath/factory state, and for months past has shown no material increase. This traffic, could be considerably increased by a judicious but moderate expenditure of capital. At most of the stations on the Metropolitan Extension ' although ample provision has been made for passenger tra ffic, there is no adequate accommodation for goods, and more especially for the Goal traffic.. Leckie:" to the district which this railway creams south of the Thames, it is evident that a large coal traffic could be carried on if there were only con veniences at the stations to receive it. The directors have no powers to divert the revenue for these purposes, but as soon as any of the new capital authorised to be raised can be to applied, they bops to obtain a considerable return en it. The new hoes lately opened by the Metropolitan Railway, between Farringdomatreet end King's -mom, will effort' this company increased accommodation for inter- Mange of traffic with the Great Northern, and for better falfilling its eagagements with that company, unfettered by the impedimenta which existed before the communica tion waa interrupted in July last. The connection with the Midland system will be completed early in the spring. Those lines, affording the meet direct and continuous communication between the Northern systems and the South of England, and the continent, must be of great benefit to this company when proper sidings and other accommodation for coal traffic on the south of the Thames hare bees provided. The directors much regret the unsatisfactory position of affairs with the Kent Coast Company. Under the proceedings instituted by that company, the Court of Chancery has declared that this company is not justified in carryieg out the alleged agreement with the Kent Coast Company, and has prohi bited any further working under the agreement. The Vice-Chancellor's decision is under appeal ; and pending the appeal, this company, with leave of the court, is, m asconlance with the award of Captain O'Brien, working the Kent Coast traffic between Faversham and Eammate at 50 per cent. of the gross receipts earned upon the Kent Coast line. Before the Vimhaocellor's decision this board endeavoured to niche an equitable adjustment or modification of the Kent Coast agreement, but that com pany declined to trees for any modification, and insisted on the absolute fulfilment of the terms of the agreement. In regard to the sum of 5,0001. assigned as the proportion of legal and parliamentary expenses to be borne by the half-year's revenue, it will be at once seen that until the suits not stayed by the Arrangement Act shall have been disposed of It is almost impossible to 'one any reliable esti mate of the ultimate amount of the legal expenses, or out of what fund they will ultimately be payable. With a view of reducing this heed of expenditure as much as posiible, Mr. Cleather, who produced high testi monials, and has had extensive experience in railway business, was appointed the Raw clerk in Novenas . ? last. The directors have been unable hitherto to provide the accommodation works which are essential for the increase and development of traffic, owing to the unavoidable delay in raising capital by the issue of "A " stock. Meanwhile, they have applied revenue by way of loan, to be replaced from the capital ea soon eel raised, for purposes of the mint pressing importance. One Mstaece may be mentioned, namely, a payment of 122,5291. 2s. to complete the purchase of land at Battersea, ' ea which the company's extensive works have been built. The vendors' rights over that land were excepted from the Arrangement Act, and under a peremptory decree the land would have been forfeited if payment had not been made on a fixed day. The directors rely upon their acts in such cases being approved by the shareholders and mortgagees. With respect to the amounts submitted with the report, the directors direst attention to a balance of revenue over expenditure on all sections of 114,7391. 16s. lid., and to the manner in which the expended portion of this balance has been applied. Some of the items are not of a nature to occur again; but in order that there may be uo misapprehen sion as to future revenue available for debenture or shareholders' purposes, the directors think it right to any that unless provided for out of the capital authorised by the Arrangement Act, there will have to be provided out of revenue the deferred instal ments of the original cost of rolling stock, and some ether item. The totals of these payments are as follows : —lB6B, 33,8391. Is. Bd. ; 1869 29,602/. ls. ; 1870, 33,1031. Oa. sd. ; 1871, AWOL 13s. Tit ; 1873, 16,6041. 14s. 10d. ; 1873, 4,9461. Oa. Si. There is also a weekly payment of 5151. 18e. 11d., with arrears from let July last, ordered by the Court of Chancery to he paid into court by the oom pany as rent of the rolling stock assigned at the suit of auditors. This payment will oontinoe until the rolling stook is redeemed under the provisions of the Arrangement Ast. Thedireeteracongratulate the proprietors oc the steady Manses in the continental traffic. During the Paris Exhi bition the number of travellers vii Dover and Colds was far in excess of any other route ; but the increase specially referred to is in the ordinary hafts, as exhibited in the returns of the last three months, and there Is reason to believe that this is growing increase. On this *abject it willies interesting to the proprietors to have the statis tics of the continental traffic agreement with the South Eastern Company. Under its provisions this company is entitled during the current year to 41 per cent. of the whole continental traffic carried by both companies (in cluding the South Eastern service via Folkestone and Boulogne and the local traffic between London and Dover sad Folkestone), as against 39 per cent in 1867. The agreement Is dated in 1863. The gross continental traffic, Dver and Calais, and vie Folk atones and Boulogne, and including mail subsidies, and the local traffic' between London and Dover and Folkestone, has amounted :—ln the year 1863, to 337,4571. • in the year 1864, to 358,4534 ; in the year 1865, to i 65,6071. ; in the year 1866, to 352,077/. • and for 1867, to (estimated) 450,0061. These fig:trot show a steady annual DUDDY* for the first three years. The traffic fell slightly in 1866, owing, no doubt, to the disturbed date of foreign polities, the com mercial distrems and the cholera. In 1867 t h e receipts were largely Increased, owing doubtless in some measure to the Paris Exhibition. Therefore the figures for 1866 and 1867 will not fairly admit of comparison.

The directors deem it expedient that the proprietors should avail themselves of the provisioes of the Railway Com panies Act, 1867, which authorises the debentures into debenture Meek, and with that eiew the parent meeting has been made special, to enable the directors to obtain the requisite authority from the proprietors to create Rad lune debenture stock, bearing interest at the rate of 4/. 10s. per (return per annum, as opportunities for so doing may offer.

Jobe Mayen, 20, who wee cenvieted on Tuesday of stealing a gold watch end chain, value 501., the property of Williaei Barclay Hutchinson, from his person, was brought up for sentence. Several previous convictions were pro duced limiest the prisoner. The Assistant Judge sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for five years.

Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. F. H. Lewis and Mr. War ner Sleigh appeared for the defendants. All the prisoners pleaded guilty to the indictment. E ,rly in the morning of the ith of February, the four defendants hustled the constable, and lie received a blow in the eye. Another constable came up, sad a violent struggle commenced, Swinburne and Richmond being conspicuous in striking the police. Cave was so severely injured that he became inseimible, and it is believed that ho will lose the sight of one eye. The Assistant Judge said, with the view to the conside ration of this ease by all parties, he should defer passing sentence until next motion, and be called upon them to enter into the same amount of bail to come up for judg ment next cessions.

Tor, and John Polar:cola, who had been remanded upon the charge of unlawfully conspiring together, and by means of falm pretence. defrauding the India 'Rubber, Gutta Percha, and Tokgmph Works Company, tarrying on business in Cannon-street, of proverty to the amount of 100/., were brought before Sir it. Carden for further examination. A men named James Fennell, who is be. limed to be the principal of the gang, and who had been apprehended on the previous evening by Sergeant Funnell, the detective officer, on a warrant granted by the Lord Meyer, was also placed at the bar, and included in the charge of conspiracy with the other defendants. Mr. 0. Lewis again attended to conduct the prosecution; Mr. Bilton, solicitor of Danes-inn, for Pennicend and Tow. It will be moolleated that it was proved at the last ex amination that the prisoner Fennell had hired a house situate No. 21a, Hyde-park-place, Bayswater, at a rent of 80/. per annum, representing that he was a house agent end builds in a large way of business, and be gave references which turned out to be fraudulent and peti tions The moment be obtained possession of she pre mises goods were ordered of tradesmen in all directions, fictitious references being again given to throw the parties off their guard, and in this wee propcety was obtained to a l arge amount, which was immediately pawned or otherwise disposed of. In this way also property to the amount of nearly 100 f. was obtained from the cocup.my above-mentioned, and It appeared that a portion of it was pawned directly it was received by the prisoners Pennioond Ind Fennell. The other man, Tow, professed to set as clerk, but there was no doubt that he was perfectly well aware of the nature of the operations that were going on, and it appeared that when a clerk in the service of the prosecutors went to the house in Hyde-park-place to make some inquiries, he was told that all the articles that hail been sent in had been used in houses that " Fennell and Co." were fitting up in Belgravia, but they Gould not ask the parties for money for some time, for fear of offending them. Mr. Leyland, a gentleman, who described himself as a merchant and warehousemen carrying on business in . . Botolph-lane, was examined as 'a =witness, and be stated that 'be hod known the prisoner Fennell for about twelve months, and about Christmas he cams to him and said that he had a quantity of india-rubber goods to dispose of, and be produced a sample. On the following day witness offered him 50/. for the lot which he represented he had to sell, and he said he must consult his "principal." He called shortly afterwards with Pennicond, who, he represented, wu his " principal," and he agreed to take the stony, and witness art. Lim two cheques, one for 331. and the other fie 15L, for the different articles. - I;ans --- wer7;question• put by Mr. Lein., * Imams said be was told that Pennicond lived at Charrington. street, Oakley-square, but he roads no inquiries of him where he got the goods from, or whether they were paid for. Lewis observed that the net price of the articles was W., mid the winsome had bought them almost imme diately after the prisoners obtained poneasiou of them for 50/. Mr. Leyland said that he had tried to sell them, and could not obtain the amount he had given for the articles. He would readily t►ke his money back for them. Mr. Lewis said that they should try and make him give them up for nothing. He had received notice not to part with the property. Sir R. Carden asked the witness what he described him melt to be ? _ _ . Thereiffed that he was a merchant and warehouseman. Sir It. Carden—A general merchant, I suppose. Are you in the habit of buying property in this manner, with out making any inquiries of the parties who offer it for sale? witneu replied that he had known Fennell for twelve months, ard he considered this was quite sufficient. A clerk in a bank styled the General London Bank, which carries on its business in James-street, Covent garden, proved that immediately after the money was ob tained from Leyland the the Fennell and Penni oond opened an account at the bank, and paid In 271., and two cheque books were given to them. No money was afterwards paid in, and nearly the whole of the 271. was drawn out by ch eq ue. for U. and 21. each. After some further evidence had been taken, the pri soners were all remanded, and Sir it. Carden peremptorily refused to accede to an application to admit them to bail. GIiiLDRALL Joseph dfone, coachman to Mn. Dawes of Victoria yard, Westminster, wee placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Finnis, charged with being drunk and driving to the common danger in the Old Bailey. Edwin Jesse Poole, MO, said that about half-peat five o'clock that morning he wee on duty in the Old Bailey, when be beard • now as if a collision bad taken phew He went to the spot and saw • brougham termed over on its side and the defendant underneath it. With the assist ance of some men he lifted up the brougham, and the defendant, who was banging by the neck to the lamp of the carriage, was taken to Bt. Bartholomew's Harpiesi. The brougham was considerably damaged in the springs and other parts. The prisoner was drunk at the time. Inspector Everett sent to Mn, Dawes, and the foreman came and took the carriage home. The foreman attended, and said the prisoner bore a very good character, and had never committed himself before. The prisoner said he was not drunk,'but had been up late all the week, and was exhausted and sleepy. He was on his right aide, and either he ran against • cart or • cart ran into him and upset him. Alderman Finn'', In consequence of the good character he bore, and the fact that he was considerably injured, said he would discharge him. Mrs. Awe Radcliffe, a young woman, the wife of a tradesman carrying on business at No. 237, Gray's.inn. road, surrendered to her bail on nimandbefore Mr. Barker, charged with maliciously wounding barn Busman, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. Mr. Warner Sleigh, instructed b,I Messrs.

The evidence now was to the effort that the complainant had been ill-treated by the defendant while in bar service. fibs was still an out-pa tient otthe hospital. After some oonsiderable disenseion, it was agreed that bail should be accepted in the stun of 6001., width was at owe tendered and aesepted. and the defendant was sem milted far tablet the Old Bailey swims.

This had the effect of bringing the pri. I soner to Mrs. Birch, who personated the mother or sister let the missing man PO well that prisoner ultimately pro. I duced his death-certificate, upon receipt of which Mrs. Birch sent for • policemen and locked him up. He was remanded till yesterday, failing to procure tail Mr. Poland. having opened the ease, said the prisoner was the son of • registrar, and therefore had every facility of being an adept at the Waimea. Mr. William Bronesse Phipps, clerk t Mr. Mate, solicitor, 33, Bucklersbury, said in September last his em ployee ordered him to insert an advertisement in the Times y, inquiring for one William Beasle and o ff ering 2/. reward for such informatiou as should lead to his where abouts. On the 26th of September the prisoner called at the office, his master being out of town, end maw him. After some conversation prisoner produced his death certificate. lie said he bad been sent by Mr. Bradbury, the registrar of births nod deaths at Chippeuharn, in Wilt shire. In reply to witness he said Mr. Beasley first worked at Bristol, then he removed to Bath, and thence to Chippenbain, where he remained until his death ; that a person named Jane Allen was present at the death, and her name was on the certificate. He further said an affi davit or declaration could be made by the said Jane Allen if it were wished; a declaration would be preferred, as it was cheapest. He was paid 21., and gave the receipt (pro duced). He said Mr. Bradbury, the registrar, was his father. Witness believed the forded documents produced were all in the same handwriting. Mr. John Shoveller said he was superintendent in the Registrar-General's ofßoe, and bad the care of all the ap pointments of registrars every three months. He pro duced the original entries transmitted by the registrars to Somenet-house. Had examined the registers from Chip penham from January to March. 1862, and found no death of one Wm. Beasley, who was alleged in the certificate to have died there on Feb. 20, I:Li2. The registrar's name was James Utterson, not Bradbury. The certificate was numbered 25. That referred to the death of one Edwin Holliday. The next cam was one in which Mr. William Smith, a bootmaker, in Chelmsford had advertised for the birth certificates of William and Thomas Boetell, registered in Kent, Middlesex, or Essex, from 17130 to 1765. The pri 'Geer produced the necessary sertiocates, and received 3/.. for them, and on being requested by Mr. Smith to produce the certificate of baptism of Tbom e , Bernell, and the mar riage certificate of the parents, he did so within three days, and received a further sum of V. 10a. He also mule a fate declaration that his information was correct. All the certificates were found to be forgeries. Prisoner was remanded for another week. MARKETS.
