COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Deno. fittings at Nisi Prim after Term at Guildhall.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) NONIO O. NITMLIIL—LIBZL AND SLAM:4M (Coocluded from yesterday's Express.) The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said he con gratulated the jury on having arrived at the close of • case which was the most wearisome he had ever known, with the special exception of the admirable forewic argument and disputation of Sir F. Kelly the ions day, which caused the hours to pass quickly i of heavily. He thought it lamentable that the time of twelve commercial men should have been occupied four weary days with this case, and in the mean time the arrears of the Queen's Bench stayed. wh'lst trying over again matters finally set tled long ago. The questions raised upon Chia policy were proper subjects for discussion in • court of law, and after they had been discussed in the Court of Ex chequer and in Chancery, be could not help thinking that all parties might have een very well contented. Bet it Mr. Fowler, with the co-operation and assistance of Teased Mr. to go into print, and appeal to the policy. folders. That provoked • reply from the directors, and he meld pothelp owning that he bad not much sympathy for • man who, having appealed to the public, on being an mewed, changed the tribunal he bad chosen, and had recourse to • court of law. It woe very like the case of one men knocking down another, and as soon as he rose to renew the combat calling for the police. As he had said, he had not much sympathy with a man en combat isto • court of law ; but as the ORBS IBM there they must deal with it as they found it. The action resolved itself into two heads—the libel alleged to be con- Mined in the pamphlet, and the slander spoken by Mr. 1 Ritchie. The facts with regard to the libel were not in dispute, and it was for them to say, when they were stripped of the highly coloured and exaggerated complexion given to them by counsel, whether they - did or did not make out the truth of the passages in the pamphlet complained of. They could not but lament the eerie' of mistakes and misunderstandings that existed, but for which the civil rights of the parties would have been de termined without the imputations of suspicion sad distrust that seemed to have presented themselves, and were prominently put forward in the course of the proceed ings. It was clear the directors were not liable on the policy, and Mr. Fowler's pamphlet made serious imputa tions on them, which were calculated, if unnoticed and nn answered, to do them great and serious injury. On the slander there was a conflict of evidence. Without referring to what had been said about Mr. Jones, there could be no doubt it was owing to him, as mischief maker, they had been engaged four mortal days in inquiring again into them squab bles and disputes. It was for them to say, in the face of positive oontradiction by two respectable witnesses, if they could put faith in the °widen,e of the mischief-maker. A mu who puts himself forward to stir up strife between parties might not be the moat reliable witness. His lord ship left it to the jury to say whether, under the circum stances, there was express malice on the part of the directors in patting forth their pamphlet ; and in Mr. Ritchie. in the statement made by bim to Mr. Jones, or whether both were done boot tide. Whilst the jury were out considering the question left to them by his lordship, Mr. M. Chambers tendered a bill of exception', and his lordship had them back and ex plained the excepted points. The jury said they bad made up their minds. Lord Chief Justice asked them if they believed Mr. Mackie spoke the words attributed to him by Mr. Jones. The Foreman—No, we do not. The Lord ChielJustios—Are you of opinion that the directors have made out • justification of the libel com plained of The Foreman—Yes, we are. The Lord Chief Justine—Then that is • verdict for the defendant. The Foreman said they were of opinion no imputation rested on Mr. limn*. Mr. G. W. Jones, 25, Berm-{rest, Temple, wishes it to be stated that he is not the Mr. Jones who save 'video's& is the above mule. VOISLEI AND ANOTHIIt a. inn SIANCHEATED AND LONDON k 43.,. AeIIOFIATIoN.

The plaintiffs in this we, Mews. Knight sad Coleman, Lad been engaged as brokers in disposing of the shares in the defendants' company whilst it was being established, and their case was that their oonimission upon the 40,000 shares would amount to 5,0001., but that instead of their being paid in this way it 1,11.11 arranged that they should receive 750/. and 500 charm in the company, and that in additiou they should be ap pointed permanent brokers to the oompeny. They now claimed damages upon the ground that they had been dis missed from their position. There was a plea upon the mooed alleging that the plaintiffs had nut performed their duty efficiently, but early in the day that plea was with drawn, and it was admitted that there was no imputation upon the plaintiffs. Mr. Royal mid Mr. N. Williams appeared for the plain- tiffs ; and Mr. M. Smith, Mr. Mellish, and Mr. Garth were for the defentlasts. It was stated that the formation of the company was I eownenoed in IMS, and that the plaintiffs were employed for many months in getting fit persona to join the company . and in disposing of shares. They were appointed brokers to . the company by the provisional directors, tad motioned to sot in that capacity until September, 1501, when they learned that some other brokers had been 'dived to make an investment ; thereupon the plaintiffs i wrote saying that they still held the uurevoked appoint-1 meat as brokers to the company, and asking for as exploits. ties ; and the directors in reply repudiated any appointment such es would restrict them from employing any other broker if they thought fit ; and is this way the connection came to en cod. In the course of the plaintiffs case it was stated that they bad been offered the valuable appointment of broker' to the Themes and Mersey Dammam Company, but they declined it because it was thought that they could not hold it consistently with their duty as brokers to the defemlants. Some evidence was given, and in the course of the day his lordship supported an arrangement, and he more fully communisited with the leading counsel in his private room. Mr. Smith, upon their return, said that the plaintiffs' eusasel felt that he could not mowed ia establishing that the plaintiffs were appointed perpetual brokers to the com ps,. and he (Mr. Smith) had to say that the directors had not the slightest wish to complain of the conduct of Masers.

Mr. Coleridge appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Webby (specially retained), and Mr. Morgan Lloyd, for Buckley, the Fahey', Fynan, Gorman, Hogs, sod Hoare ; Mr. Bonita, for Larkin, Leamoo, and Martin ; Mr. Pope Hennemey (specially retained) and Mr. Williams far Tracey and Shovelin; while the defence of the remaining prisoners was entrusted to Mr. M'lntyre. Dec. 17. Mr. Baron Bramwell sentenced Henry Lennon, one of I the Birkenhead riotous, to 15 rein' penal servitude. This man we. charged with having snide a brutal Minsk epos Patrick iiimanny and John Haawell, two of the helicon. ; head polka constables, while in the due execution of their duty on the 15th of October last. At the close of the evidence, which detailed the particular assaults of which the prisoner was accused, his counsel complained of the prosecution taking this case first, as if the origin and Datum of the riot bad been shown circumstances favourable to the accused would have appeared. It might then have been shown that the constabulary took a violent coarse, and that the mob bad only resorted to the umeaures they made use of in their own protection and self-defence. The learned coun sel commented with seam warmth as the invitation to the disturbance offered by the debating society in making nee of Orange phew& in the midst of an Irish popula. tion. The learned j in summing up, however, mid it was perfectly Ministerial to the jury whether t he clie cumaion of this se called Parliamentary Society was rea sonable or otherwise. It was equally immaterial whether the placards wire orange or any other colour, or no colour en all ; and as to the complaint of the learned counsel that the preemation had taken this sue before some othecw, that was wholly without foundation. It was clear that the prisoner struck the blow, and it was urged that he did so in selfdefenco but the evidence showed that the police were only doing their duty, and, even supposing they were not, no man had anyright to tarn round and strike an caber In this manner. In addition to Lerumo, vine of the male prizooen were sentenced to two years' and three to one year's hard 'about., Catherine Larkin was sentenced to one year's hard labour, I and the other women to six months' hard labour each. Jame. Fynan was acquitted. In the noun. of the trial oa Tuesday,Mr. Pope Hammy, one of the counsel fort lA J efeocs , asked • witness whether he considered that the meeting of the Parliamentary Debating Society was calculated to produce • disturbance in Birkenhead. His lordship held that such a question was inadmissible. Mr. Hennessy then oiled an opmion of Mr. Baron Alder son to the effect that any meeting calculated to endanger the public tranquility wee an unlawful assemblage. 110 lordship said he send with that opinion ; but he considered that opinion referred to meetings which were intrinsically unlawful or bad is them soiree. He hoped it would never be the law of this land that people could not express their (minims on all ',objects, and especially in • private room, without being prevented b • number of ignorant savages armed with missiles.

SittiDp M MI6 Plial at Guildhall.—(Before the Lord Chia( Baum sad a Comma Jury.) SIMMONS V. DIMON.--CANT 07 ALLEGED MUMS?. This was an /wawa upon a cheque for 2,0001. The de fendant pleaded that when he aig the cheque he was in an unsound data of mind. . . Yr. Collier, Q.C., sad Hr. WNamara were mne' for the plaintiff : sod Yr. N. Chambers, Q.C., and Yr. Gray for the daferedaat. TlaTissue bunion the defendant, Mr. Gray (in the absence of Mr. M. Chambers) opened the case. He said the plaintiff was stationmaster at Crawley, in Sussex., and the defendant was a young gentleman, aged 26, who had been brought up to the profession of an engineer, and who entered into practice on his own account in 1861. The defendant, on 17th April last, signed an agreement to buy a house, called Idighfield Lodge, where be had been residing, from the plaintiff for 2,000/., hut the bargain was to be void if the money was not paid within two months. On the 12th May, before the expiration of that time, the defendant gave him a cheque for 2,0001. on his bankers ; but the defence was that lie signed it while of unsound mind, and if that were proved it would be a good defence to the action. The learned counsel said be bad at that time no means of meeting the cheque, as he had only a balance of 2001. at his banker's, and his other property consisted of a reversionary interest worth 40001. in an estate in the Isle of Thanet, which had been imetgaged foe 2,0001. to pay his debts. He contended that shifts cheque under thew circumstances was not the act of stbaal man. In 1860 he became so violent that it was umenry to plus/him under restraint, and in April, 1862, he 'bed a renewal of the attack, and after committing various sets of eccentricity was sent to a lunatic asylum upon the certificate of two medical gentlemen. After the lapse of two or three mouths he got better, and now it was not alleged that be was insane. The following evidence win then adduced : Mr. Henry Breton, the defendant's brother, a farmer at Hawley, in Surrey, aid—ln autumn, 1860, my brother was residing in Landon. One Sunday he came to as. me. Hie manner was very strange. He walked about, and plucked out the hairs of his beard. Be was not quite right in his bead. Re said he was Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, and also a greater man than Rothschild. Hie face became all sore from pulling out his beard. He danced, sang, and performed all aorta of antics. In the beginning of this year again noticed something strange in his man ner. I saw him in a public-house at East Grinstead. with • hat on made of hedge-hog skins. When be was at his bro. ther-in-law's house (the Rev. Mr. Norton, curate of Horne, Surrey) be conducted himself in a very extraordinary man ner. His bands and feet bad to be tied. He booked a bole through the wall and was quite raving. He talked incoherently. When given anything to eat be would rub it over his face. He would drink beer, but sometimes he would pour it over his head. In May he was in the same state as to his mind. He did not know what he was doing. I never knew of his drinking at that time. I maw him at the Camberwell-house Lunatic Asylum. That was when we took bim out. Re then seemed quite right, and he has continued to improve ever since. Oroes-examined—My brother was on some works in Portugal for which Sir M. Peto had contracted. I con skbired that up to 1860 he was • very temperate young man. I know that since then he Ins drunk Drink had the effect of exciting him. Ido not know that his illness in 1860 was canoed by delirium tremens. At the time the attack was on him he said we had ill-treated him. After he got well I never paid him anything in the shape of mennsissaikra. In 1862 he need to drink occasionally. I believe that is April last be went to • volunteer review at Brighton, but I do not know whether he then had a drinking bout. He was angry at our not allowing him to drink, but we allowed him to smoke. H. was kept tied three or four days, but let locale at intervals. A medical man saw him, and said he was tied down in • proper manner. When he was released be knew what he was about. Mr. Smith, • medical man, did not refuse to sign a certificate of his insanity. I heard that he was thrown out of • gig in May last. I signed the order to re ceive him at the asylum. There was a telegram from Mr. Spencer, of the Bridge-house Hotel, in London, stating that be was conducting himself in a very strange manner. It was after receiving that that I signed the certificate. I applied to Mr. Hayman, • surgeon of Town Mailing. to sign - the cer tificate, and he did so. My brother-in-law got somebody else to sign it, but I don't know his name. He is a London man. lam not aware that • Mr. Chapman refried to certify. He did not know his mother when he was in the state I have described. He spoke to her disrespectfully, but at other tuna he showed great affec tion for her. Mrs. Mary Norton, the elder sister a/ the defendant, mid— i saw my brother when he was ill in 1860. Between his re covery and March in the present year he was well enough, but he seemed always strange. I• April last he swore dread fully ; that was contrary to his usual habit. He talked and laughed at nmht when he was by himself, and woke us all. He boasted at his great wealth, sod said he would keep servants and carriages at Crawley. He also said he would make a railway through the sky. I knew he was not in his right mind. Cram-examined—He became more sensible after he had • little drink. Re-examined—He was under restraint at my house, at Home, in Surrey. He nearly knocked down the partition in the room, and every one who came tear him. Charles Turner, the keeper of wine shades in the Strand, said the defendant's conduct was very eccentric. He had awe offered witness a cheque for say amount, simply as an act of kindness ; and once be stood on his bead, in imitation or the boys who followed the omnibuses. Hie impression was that the defendant was suffering from an attack of delirium tremens. sad was not in his right mind. Cross-examined—l had several business transactions with the defendant. What! with • madman! Wither—Yes; we have transactions with madmen every day of our lives. (Laughter.) The last time I saw him was on May 29, 1862. lie came with no neck-tie on, and covered with mud. I thought he was mad, but he appeared sober. Thera was • wildness In his eyes. He paid me by cheques They were for the right amounts, and were cashed by hie bankers. I don't think he offered me the cheque for as much as I liked by way of chaff. He was not drunk at the time. I thought it was a piece of vain boasting, or the saying of a man who did not know what he was about. Edward &linter, landlord of the Fox, at Three Bridges, said that in April last the defendant came to his house and ordered three bottles of champagne, bread and cheese, hay and corn for his horse, and. two gallons of water, saying he was going out on night duty. The articles were eventually supplied to him, and he drove off in his cart. He used to lie down under his hone, and also get under the table and say he was • volunteer, and was in search for the enemy. He was well known by the name of Bloodin. He wished witness to all him Bull, and not Breton, as he said his friends were trying to take his property from Lim. He owed witness 181. odd, and on sending in his bill be gave him • cheque for 401., and said he was to give the few shillings over to the servants. He sent the cheque to his bankers and got the money, but he gave the sum he had been overpaid to his family. He did not think he was of sound miod. Cross-examined--He drank moderately. Never saw him do so excessively. He had seen him the worse for liquor. When he had the champagne he said be was going on night duty, as he expected some one would rob his fish-pond. Mr. G. Chapman, • medical man, said he attended the defendant in September, 1860. He appeared in an excited state; at first be thought from drink. He spoke irrationally, but Le would not have signed a certifi cate of his insanity at that time. He was suffering from great excitement. He struck the wall with his hands and feet, and spat upon the ground and rubbed his head in it. Witness then thought it seceseary that be should be placed under some restraint. In May his brain was not in a sound condition, but he was rational on some subjects. Cross-examined—T was not asked to sign a certificate. It RS talked about. To my recollection, I did not say that I thought he was not insane. I considered he was in a state of temporary insanity. Re-examined—On May 29th I did not consider he was in • proper state of mind. He was of annelid mind. Mr. John Lacey, a surgeon, of Wellington-street, Lon don-bridge, said he was called upon to MID the defen dant in May, 1862, and after examining him he signed • certificate. There was great excitement in his manner; he laboured under various hallucinations, and fan. cied he was Albert. Prince of the World. He emitted great quantities of saliva, and showed extreme restleeneas. Hs was also informed that he bad a similar attack before. that he had written cheques for absnrd amounts, that thbre was vest irregularity in his mode of berg, and that he had indulged in spirituous liquor'. He then signed the certifi cate produced, upon which be was confined in the asylum. He was still of opinion that at that time he was insane. The insanity might have been brought on by drink and other causes. He must have been working up to that condition for months. The trial had not concluded when the court roes. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Dec 17. (Before the Jodie Ordteary.) wrrr v. WILT MID (Concluded from yaatarday's Exprru.) Mr. Earslake summed up the ewe for the rearm. dent. He maintained that both her pleas had been proved. It was shown that she bad been in such a state of health mII the time at which the adultery was Armed. that nothing could be more improbable than the idea of her accepting the improper attentions of anyone. As for Mr. Witt, not withstanding the attempt which had been made to depict him as a model husband, it was clear from the evidence just given whet his real character had been. He pretended, for sooth, MO the cares of his business made him require, to m• :4e an expression from the letter which had been put in, " a nightly boisterbus excitement now and then. That letter, sad the evident", of Mr. Kumpel, so far corroborated the glory of Bother Pearson. that the jury would readily nedssetand how pained a wife would be by hie conduct. it was cely when he found that his wife would live with him no longer that he bad resorted to this suites • means of get ting rid of her. Mr. Hawking, it reply, ridiculed the evidence gives for the defame, sad asked the jury what they thought of such as swaps as that Mr. Klindworth was sitting up from eleven till seven, reeding the "Arabian Nights Entertain. moots r (A laugh.) As to the ecausterlAirp he most say that be had never met with a one of mare cruel hi-rrhon. There had really been no evidence spinet a the ward of a douche prostitute, whom he (the learned conned) bad almost felt ashamed to cross•aramine. He protested spinet allowing a man's prospects in life to be blasted by the bare statement of a witness so infamous, and called on the jury to give their verdict for the petitioner with substantial damages against the maa who had deeply injured him. sir C.

Up to the 19th August last, and for some time previously, the prisoner O'Donnell bad boarded and lodged with James Byrne. He paid nothing for his maintenance, his services in superistendir g Byree's shops being taken as an equivalent. On the 19th August some misooderstanding occurred between Byrne and O'Donoell, which resulted in O'Donnell leaving Byrne's house, and the shop No. 3 Wag closed, and the key left with Coyne. This shop No. 3 was the one which had been chiefly attended to by the prisoner O'Donnell, having been taken by Byrne in O'Donnell's name, though Byrne paid the rent and was the real tenant. The shop was cloud until the 23rd August, when Byrne sent in some men to remove some of the furniture, and a dispute took place with O'Donnell on this occasion, but nothing of importance took Oath. The shop remained spin closed, Coyne retaining the key. On the 15th Sept. Byrne gave instructions to two bailiffs (Brooks and Warden) to go into the shop sod remove the goods to the wsrerooms of a person named Heys. The bailiffs took with them about 16 men, including the deosamd James Morris. They entered the premises about 2or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and found the prisoner O'Donnell there, and his brother Charles. The prisoner left the shop for a short time, and then returned with Coyne. Some scuffling took place, but the result was that the bailiffs pre vailed, and the prteoners and Charles O'Donnell were toted. t p l , Doi t s c ri o ll than w om th en e t to L pro a vision shop is large bacon knife, and with this returned to the shop, which be entered in company with Coyne, who was outside. O'Doonell flourished the knife about, and while James Morris was running back to escape his violence, O'Donnell stabbed him several times, one stab penetrating deeply between the Bth and 9th The polies were called , the knife was wrested from O'Donnell, and Morris was taken to the hospital, where he died a few minutes afterwards. The jury, after an absence of 40 minutes, returned a Ver. diet of Manslanghter in the mss of O'Donnell, and of At vitt& in the awe of Coyne. His lordship remarked that though he did not find fault ' with the verdict of the jury, this was a case so near one ' of murder that he felt bound to sentence the prisoner to ' penal servitude for life. Coyne was discharged. NORTH WALES CIRCIIIT.—Cfmrss, Die. 16.

I Mr. Grove, Q.C., Mr. Brandt, Mr. Horatio Lloyd, and CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) George Lines, 35, a powerful man, was charged with robbing Walter Charles Woodward of a pair of coral ear rings, and 21.18.. ls money, and the indictment alleged that at the time the robbery was committed the prisoner ,track and uaed other personal violence to the prosecutor. Mr. Gent conducted the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Edward Keeley. The prosecutor in this case was the assistant to. jeweller, residing in the neighbourhood of Haverstock.hill, and it that at about half-pest 11 o'clock at night on the IL Nl Z ' llovember he was on his waybome, and while peering eking a place called Mortland-park, a man, whom he stated to be the prisoner, came up to him and asked hirer to re lieu a poor distre ssed fellow. He told him that he had no money, and the man immediately clasped him round the neck with both halide, and at the same instant he wee seined from behind by another man, who pinioned his arms and struck him a blow on the head, and he then put his hand Mto his pockets and took out his purse, which contained 21. 18a., and a pair of coral ear-rings and a coral ornament. While the man behind him was so occupied the prisoner kept one hand on his throat, sod with the other made a snatch at his watch-chain, which broke. He with the men, and he saw what appeared to be tliti ru gg of - w -knife limb acme his face, and be was cat through the collar, and his neck was slightly The me. then ran away, and he gave information to the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody about • fortnight afterwards. The prosecutor swore positively to the poisoner being the man who stood in front of him, and be aid that the transaction took place near to a gaa-lamp and he had a good opportunity of seeing him. It appeared also that the prosecutor picked out the prisoner from • number of other Men, but it wan proved in the course of the case that the prisoner bore a good character, and that be had been for a considerable time in the service of a builder in the neighbourhood, and was engaged in hie regular occupation at the time he was appre hended. The only evidence to confirm the testimony of the proaecutoru to the identity of the prisoner was thatolts. female servant, who heard the cries of murder and polioe, and who stated that she saw two men pose from the spot, and that the prisoner in dram and appearance resembled one of them, and the policeman who came up when the alarm wu given proved that he also maw two moo of the same description, but neither of these vitamin were able to speak to the person of the primmer. The only question that was raised by Mr. Beaky for the defence was that the prosecutor was mistaken in speaking to his identity, and he called several witnesses who proved pretty clearly that at the time the robbery was alleged to have been committed the prisoner .wee at home and in bed. The learned judge having summed up, the jury, with very little hesitatioa, returned • verdict of Not Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Charles Brown, alias Pratt, 30, labonrier, and Henry Johnson, alias Ta ylor, alias Jones, alias Smith, ZS. labourer, were indicted for burglary in the dwelling-house of Matthew Pitmao, with intent to steal therein. Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoners were not defended. The facts, as they appeared in evidence, were these. On the night of the 20th November last the prosecutor, who lives at 49, Goodge-street, Tottenham-oo -road, retired to rest shortly after 11 o'clock, having secured all his doors and windows. Shortly before 1 o'clock a female named Mary Jenkins was leaving the residence of Min. Blake, who lives immediately opposite to the prosecutor, when she maw two men getting over the area railing of the prosecutor's hones, and she returned to her friend, Mrs. Blake, and communi cated what she had seen, and they both saw the two men whom they now identified as being the prisoners, who, how ever, made their escape at the time, but were subsequently taken into custody on soother charge. When apprehended the prisoner Brown struck the officer, Sergeant Ryan of the E division, with a jemmy . or crowbar which corresponded with the marks on the window and shutters of the prose cutor's residence which had been forced on the night to question. It was further proved that the prisoners were seen together loitering about the premises of the prosecutor shortly before they were disturbed in their attempt to break in. The prisoners cross-examined all the witnesses with the most audacious effrontery. The jury found the prisoners Guilty of attempting to ooin. mit a burglary. The prisoners were again indicted for feloniously assault ing a man whose name was unknown, with intent to rob him, on the 22nd Nov. last. Mr. Hibtoa again appeared for the prosecution. Sergeant Lambert, E 12, proved that he saw the prisoners together in Tottenham.court-road, and watched their move ments, at half-past 12 o'clock at stet. He observed a man approaching them, and beard Brown say to Johnson, ' Here's a chance ;" to which Johnson reid, "No, let the old go, he's got no sonper"—the slang expression for a watch. The witness concealed himself from their view and saw them attack a gentleman midway between Francis street and Chemise-street ; Johnson seising their victim from behind, while Brown attacked is front. The gentleman called out, •• Police! Do not rob me." and witness imme diately ran to his assistance and both prisoners made off. Witness pursued them, but lost sight of them, and then, with Sergeant Ryan. proceeded to search the neighbourhood for them. In about half an hour they fell in with them. Witness caught hold of both of them, when Brown caught him by the throat and got away. Johnson, after a severe struggle, was secured, after threatening to "knife" the witness. When taken he threw away a jemmy and a dark lantern. As the witness loft the box. and was prising between the vjury box and the dock, the prisoner Johnson, with great violence, iolence, burled a heavy boot at him, but fortunately named his aim. lie was immediately seized by the warden and, by direction of the court, both prisoners were hacdcuffed and the trial proceeded. Sergeant Ryan, E 15, proved that be went in pursuit of Brown, sod that the moineot he came op with him the prisoner, without saying a word, struck him a severe blow on the heed with the jemmy produced and again no away. As emu as he recovered from the effects of the blow, the wit. sees followed, calling out " Stop him," and the prisoner was stopped by a young gentleman named Forster, who detained him until witness came up. Mr. John Forster,* medicalatudent, proved that he heard the cries of the last witness, and saw Brown running very fast. Witnem told him if be did not stop he would knock him down with his heavy stick. Ho stopped, and witness detained him until Ryan came up and took him into custody The jury, without hesitation, pronounced a verdict of Guilty, and several previous convictions were proved against both. The Common Serjecut said the emeluct of the prisoners in court showed the sort of men they were, and sentenced them to be kept in penal servitude for the term of fifteen years. The prisoner Johnson—ls that all ? Thank you. THIRD COURT.

She however still went on after him, and when she reached Watburyatreet. she found bins is custody, and several wane round him. It was further proved by a boy named Thomas Amid that he saw the prisoner raining along with two wools under his arm aid that when be (the prisoner) perceived that he was followed, be began to call out " Stop thief," as if he was Is pursuit, sad the boy, thinking it was oily • joke, merely f ollowe d in 't himself ; but a wittier named Thorne, Diddle, • e in the route through which the prisoner passed, ran after him also. and on coming up aeked if it was him they were minis' after? on which the prisoner said " No," but the wittier seised sad detained him until the proseentrix and the pollee came up together, and he was taken into custody.

He endeavoured to net away from them, whoa he was attacked by the man, who seized him by the throat and secured him, while the woman beat him violently sad took from him his watch and all the money he had in his pocket. They than made off, leaving him almost inimitable, but the persons of the primers being known to him ha gave information to the police, and they were apprehended. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and the police stated that Collins had been several times convicted of assaults. The Commissioner told Collins he was one of three cowardly bullies who put women forward to assist in com mitting robberies, and sentenced bins to four years, and the two women to three years' penal servitude.

A large and influential meeting, presided over by the Mayor, wee held iu the Town-hall, Liverpool, yesterday, for the purpose of commuting nommen for urging upon the government the propriety or adopting either the system which bee been so anaemia' in Ireland in reference to the convict establishments, or such other as may be expected to produce the like results. .Amoopt the gentlemen present were Mr. T.

What was wanted in England was a careful system, which would both punish and amend the criminal, and a systematic registration of his offences, so that every fresh outbreak of crime would at once involve a cumulative puniahment. He would advise a special prism, and specially stringent punishment for the hardened criminal class, and a system of voluntary transportation for those anxiooa to amend. Ultimately the following re solutions were agreed to : " 1. That in the opinion of this meeting the notorious ad inoressiog insecurity of life and property in England proves the ex isimace of some vital defect in the Fermat system of dealing with oemidsre." " 2. That the encouraging results which have followed upon the adoption of the convict system now in operation in Tee lland determine this meeting to urge upon her Illitisty's government the expediency of giving that or some simiLie system a fair trial in England, ceder the nianagemot of men friencilito its principles."
