(including 21. 7s. Id., the subscrip tions of the children belonging to the Christ Church schools) was raised. The amount given comprised 830 coins, showing the deep sympathy of a large congregation of poor for those more distressed than themselves. The money has been handed over to the Lord Mayor by the incumbent, the Rev. George H. H. Gill. STAFFORD. -A county meeting of the inhabi tants of Staffordshire was held yesterday at the Shire Hall, Stafford; the High Sheriff in the chair. The chairman briefly moved a resolution, expressing sympathy with the distressed operatives, and this was seconded by the Hon. Colonel Littleton, who expressed the regret of his father, Lord Methadon, at not being able to be present. The Earl of Rarrowby moved the appointment of a county commit tee, and the Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P., seconded the resolution. The Earl of Lichfield moved a resolution, to the effect that the money and clothing should be forwarded to the Central Relief Committee at Manchester. He said it was a matter of regret that there should have been formed two great committee', as the funds would have bees better dispensed by one only. Several other noblemen sad gen tlemen afterwards addressed the meeting. Two thousand five hundred pounds were subscribed in the room, of which Mr. Smith Child gave 1001., Mr. Wood 1001., Mr. Bristow 1251., Lord and Lady Shrewsbury 2401., and Lord Bather ton 2001.

ACTION OF THE POOR LAW BOARD.-We learn that the Poor Law Board have issued orders autho- rising the guardians of two of the Lancashire unions, those of Preston and Blackburn, to borrow money under the pro visions of the Union Relief Aid Act, 1862. The order in each cue recites that the guardians had found that the aggregate expenditure in and about the relief of the poor of vrole union, for the quarter ending at Michaelmas last, exceeded the rate of three shillings in the pound per scum on the annual rateable value of the property comprised within the union by the sum of 2- ; that the guardians had resolved that an application should be made to the Poor Law Board for power to enable them to borrow the amount of such excess ; and that the Poor Law Board had made due inquiry into the circumstances of the union, and found that the total amount of such exams was the sum of 2-. Then the board, by the order, give au thority to the guardians to borrow the amount, and to charge the common fund of the union with its repayment in the manner provided by the act. The order to the Preston Union is dated the 10th November. and authorises the borrowing of 3,890 1 . Os. lid.; and the order to the Black burn Union is dated the 21st November, and authorises the borrowing of 2,8201. The Union Relief Aid Act has thus been found to supply a ready and inexpensive means for boards of guardians in the distressed cotton districts to borrow all the money that they may expend in and about the relief of the poor in excess of 3s. in the pound. EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 24. (Before the Matter of the Rolla.) TAN OUTDO V. DIOBT. The plaintiff, a natural born French subject, who is domiciled in France, filed • bill in this case, praying that the settlement hereinafter mentioned might be declared void. The bill also prayed if the settlement should be held to be valid that the trusts of it might be carried into execu tion under the direction of the court. The facts clearly appear in his Honour's judgment, which was delivered to-day. Hie Honour said this was a suit to obtain payment of a sum of 7491. odd, belonging to the wife of the plaintiff at the time of her marriage, and which was the subject of an instrument then executed. The question was whether that instrument had any validity or power as regarded that sum, and if not, then whether by reason of any engagement on the faith of which the marriage took place, the plaintiff is bound to give the same effect to the provisions of the settlement as if it had been originally valid and effectual. The marriage took place on 11th August, 1856, in France, between the plaintiff and his present wife, who was then residing in that country. It was a French marriage, and entered into with • view to a permanent residence and domicile in France, which has, since then, taken effect. The settlement had no legal opera tion in France, and the evidence is unquestionable that by reason of non-compliance with the requirements of the French code that document would be utterly disregarded in a French court ; that, however, did not dispose of the apes tion. It was the law of this country that if a foreigner and an Englishwoman made an express contract pre vious to marriage, and on the faith of that contract the marriage took place, and if the contract related to the regulation of property within the jurisdiction of this court, and subject to the laws of England, in such • case the court will administer the law on the subject as if the whole matter were to be ruled by English law. The first question, therefore, now to be considered was, which is the forum contractile. Is it • French or an English contract. Whichever it be, the law of the country governs the con tract. By this was not meant the mere place where the contract was made, because undoubtedly Englishmen abroad may, and daily do, enter into English contracts to be governed by the law of England, and foreigners have made contracts to be regu lated by the laws of their own country. Supposing, for illustration's sake, an English man and woman, under no disability to contract a marriage inthiscountry, intending to change their domicile and permanently to reside in France, and do reside there, and that for such purpose they make in writing a contract before marriage to the effect that all the property of the wife shall be vested in trustees, to be held by them in conformity with French law, and to be subject to the law of France. The document (the con tract), it was to be assumed, would have no validity as a marriage contract between French persona, yet in after wards administering the property comprised in it for the husband, wife, or children of the mamrge, the court would follow the rules of French law on the su and so it was to be apprehended that the } rem& tribunals would give effect to the same instrument, not as possessing any legal validity in Fusin, want ing, as it would be, in the proper formalities ; but by the exercise of a species , of comity of nations e ff ect would be given to the contract, the object of which was to alter the forum contractile; by reason of the provisions con tained in the instrument itself. 'ln the case supposed the marriage would be English and according to English law ; but the contract, though English, would really be that the matter should be governed by French law, • contract not illegal itself. In like manner, the settlement in the present case was not a valid French contract, but it might be binding on all parties to it as a contract entered into for value, relating to and affecting property in England, if the effect of it be that the subject matter of it se between the husband and wife were to be regulated by English law. It was to be regretted, however, his Honour said, that the opinion of • French jurist had not been taken upon this view of the question. His Honour then stated the provisions of the settlement, by which certain personal property to which the wife of the plaintiff was entitled under • will, was assigned, in consideration of marriage and with the consent of the plaintiff, to trustees upon trust for the wife for life, after her decease for the husband for life, and after the decease of the survivor for the children of the marriage. This settlement, the day after it was executed, was found to be invalid as not being made before a notary public, and duly registered in the French form. The parties declined to postpone their marriage in order to the preparation of • more formal instrumeut, and were married on llth August, 1856, having first declared, as they were bound to do, that no contract had been made by them. There was no fraud in this, and the real state of things was explained to the mayor, the notary public, and the trustee, who was pre sent. But that declaration only meant that they had entered into no contract according to French law. His Honour then put the case of persons about to be married in France, and possessing property both in France and England. They may, in pursuance of stipulation to that effect, execute an k.nglish settlement of the English property, and a French settlement of the French property. Both documents would be available in their respective coun tries, although of no validity per se out of it, unless by; the exercise of that comity of nations before spoken of. His Honour then examined the circumstances under which the settlement was made, and added that the con tention of the plaintiff as to the validity of the instrument could not prevaiL He entered into a solemn engagement, on the faith of which the marriage took place, and the property became vested in the trustees, and but for which settlement its destination might have been different. Could the plaintiff now dispute it, or say he wee not bound by it! It was said it had no validity in France, still it might have been made valid there by the adoption of the proper forms previously to the marriage. But assuming it not to be valid in France, his Honour thought the evidence established the conclusion that the contract was that the property should be subject to English law, and the plaintiff, who wash consenting party, could not now come and say be was not bound by the contract because it was invalid in France. The trustees would have been liable to a suit by the children if they had parted with the money su it by plaintiff. His Honour then added that the costa of the trustees should be paid out of the fund, otherwise they must be paid by the plaintiff. Mr. Everett, Mr. Pole, and Mr. F. Webb appeared in use. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 24. Sittings in Basca.—(Before Lord Chief Juatice Ede, and Justices Williams, Bytes, and: Keating.) CAWTHOIIIII V. CORDEREY.-VIRBAL AGRIEILMENTS. This was an action to recover damage* for the dismissal of the plaintiff from his employment of book-keeper before the expiration of the period for which he had been engaged ; and the trial took place before Mr. Justice Willes a few days ago, when the verdict was for the plaintiff for 60f. Mr. Huddlestoo now moved for a nile for anew trial, stating thatthe contract was entered into on Sunday, the 23rd March, and the contract was to employ for a year from Lady day. Another circumstance was that 20/. was paid on account on Monday, the 24th. and the jury found that this was a ratification of the contract. The point submitted to the court was that the contract was one which could not be performed within the twelvemonth, and that, therefore, it was void under the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds, because it was not in writing. The court after some discussion granted a rule. COURT OF BANKILLIFTOY.—Nov. 24. COSTS ON PETITIONS.-NEW ORDER OP COURT. By a recent order of court, it is directed that all traders presenting their own petitions shall, in case their debts are above 300/., deposit 5/. with the official assignee, and 5/. with the messenger, as security for the necesaary expenses of the court ; in cases where the debts are below 300/., the deposits to be 51. and 31. reapectively. This is only a variation from the ordinary practice so far as regards the deposit with the official avaignee. The order is at present confined to the court of Mr. Commissioner liolroyd, but is expected to be confirmed by the other commissioners. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE WICILENDEN AN) MANSELL. This matter, involving some questions arising out of ■ deed of armament, has been several times before his Honour, and an order was made on which notice of appeal was given. Mr. Lovell now moved to vary the terms of the order, on the ground that be had not been heard on the merit. of the question. After bearing Mr. Lawrence on the other side, His Honour said the case had been very fully argued be. fore biro, both on the question of jurisdiction and on the merits. The learned coursed bad been beard in eaten** for the better part of an hour, and now he complained that the affidavits, which contained much irrelevant matter, were not read at length. This was wholly unneoeseary, and I would have occupied the court two days. It was rot done in any court of equity. The motion was most extraordinary, to oak to vary au order which was actually under appeal. The only object appeared to be to swell thecoetaon each side, there being a food of 9001. to which the unfortunate credi- tors were entitled, but would probably never get. The motion was unpre ce dented, irregular, and unnecessary, and must he dismissed with costs. IN BEATIVINNON. The bankrupts were builders, of Northampton.

I re ceived returns from the honorary secretaries of 55 local committees formed in the cetera manufacturing dietncts for the distribution of charitable aid, and I am now enabled to state that the 55 local committees adverted to were, on the 15th instant, relieving 1e2,911 persons who were not also receiving parochial relief from the guardians, and that these P6I lacer committees expende 1Z1954 ls. fid. in charity during the week ended the I d sth instant. I have received no returns from ten honorary secretaries of local relief committees, and therefore my report is so far ineom pieta. -I am, my lords and gentlemen, your obedient servant, "li. B. FARNALL, Special Commissioner." After a conversation, Mr. Commissioner FARMALL mid i here is a question which is frequently asked, and it is, I think, very naturally asked, which is this, • What is the amount in the pound on the netrateable value of the most distressed unions and townships in the cotton manufacturing district, which is being at present spent there in the relief of the poor!" It seems to me that this question should be clearly and fairly answered, and I will, therefore, now en deavour to do so. The union which stands first in my tabular report is that of Ashton-under-Lyne, and I may perhaps answer the question adverted to by defining the position of the ratepayers and of the poor in that union, and also the position of the ratepayers and the poor in the township of Ashton-under- Lyne, which is within the union named. The union of Ashton-under-Lyne contains 13 townships within an area of 38,657 acres, its population numbers 131,761 per sons, and its net rateable value was 285,357/. in 1856. The present weekly expenditure of this union in out-door relief 2,1691., and the weekly cost of in-maintenance, at the rated '3s per heed per week, is 791., making a total weekly expenditure in relief alone of 2,2481., which is at the rate of 116,8961. per annum. The expenditure of this union, out of the poor-rates, for all other purposes than relief, for the year ended Lady-day, 1861, was 10,712/. ; this sum, therefore, added to the 116,8961. spent in relief alone, makes a total annual expenditure of 127,6061. The net rateable value of the property In this union wain 1856, as I have already stated, 285,3571. ; the total present expenditure, therefore, is Dowel the rated Se. llid.in the pound on that value ; but it is necessary to make a deduction of 25 per cent. from the net rates • value of 285,3571. for irrecover able rates, empty property, Su., and therefore the net rate able value is reduced to 214,0171. ; so that the present ex penditure is at the rate of Ils. 11d. in the pound on that value. 1 may mention that there are now 32,881 persons receiving parochial relief iu this union, and that in the cor responding week of last year 1,962 were so relieved ; and, farther, that the weekly coat of out-relief is now 2 , 168 /. lls. 8,1 . . • while in the corresponding week of last year it was 731. Se. 2d. The present percentage of pauperism on the population in this union is 24.4 ,• in the corresponding week of last year it was 1.5. I will now pass on to the township of Ashton-under-Lyne. This township contains a population of 66,806 persons, and its present net rateable value ia 156,0541. ; the owners and occupiers of mills paying one-third of the poor-rates. This township is now spending weekly in relief alone 1,189!., being an expenditure in relief alone at the rate of 61,8'284 per annum. The expenditure of this township, out of the poor rates, for all other purposes than relief, for the year ended Lady-day, 1861, was 5,6204 ; this sum, therefore, added to 61,82144 spent in relief alone, makes a total annual expendi ture of 67,4481. The present net rateable value of this township is 156,0541., the total present expenditure therefore is now at the rate of Bs. 71(1. in the pound on that value ; but it is necessary to make a deduction of 26 per cent from the net rateable value of 156,0541., for irrecoverable rates, empty t , die., and therefore the net rateable value is red to 114,7001., so that the present expenditure is at the rate of Da 9d. in the pound on that value. I may add that there are now 18,760 persons receiving parochial relief in this township, and that the per tentage of pauperism on its population is 25.1. It is also necessary to state that, independently of the 16,760 persons now receiving parochial relief, the resident local committee of charity of the town ship of Aabtomunder-Lyne relieved last week 2,626 persons, who are not relieved ont of the poor rates, so that the per dotage of persons sided by the poor rates and by charity on the population of this township is at present 23.9 per sent ; and I am obliged to add that the po verty of the township is still increasing. Since Lady-day last, two poor rates, each at Is. tieL in the pound, have been allowed and collected in this township ; these two rates should have produced 21,7271., Is. 4d.; bat the distress in the township lessened this pro duct by 3,4201. se. 88., and consequently the treasurer's amount is overdrawn, and it has now become necessary to ask for another rate of 4s. 6d. in the pound, which should produce 32,712/. 3s. 6d., but which, it is believed, will produce only 24,0001., a sum which it is hoped will meet the expenditure of the township to Lady-day next. I Lave to state that the Rate in'Aid Act was brought into operation in this union by the board of guardians at Michaelmas last, and that five townships within it were then enabled to avail themselves of the provi sions of section 1 of the set adverted to, by transferring the extras of their expenditure of 9d. in the pound, "in and about relief," on their net rateable value to the common fund of the whole union, but that the township of Ashton under-Lyre is not one of the five townships referred to. I know that this union spent during the week ended on Saturday last 2,3464 in relief alone. Now, presuming that this rate of expenditure shall have been reached iu each week of the current quarter, it is dear that the expenditure in (relief alone will be, during the quarter, 30,4981., or 2s. lid, in the pound on the net rateable value of the whole union. Under these circumstances it is equally clear that the valuable provisions of the Rate in Aid Act will oome into play with great effect in this union at Christmas next, for the board of guardians of the union will be then enabled, under those provisions, either to borrow any sum which shall have been expended dunes the quarter " in and about relief" in exec.'s of 9d. in the pound on the net rateable value of the union, or, if they shall think fit, they may then avail themselves of the provisions of the 4th section of the Rate in Aid Act, which enables them to apply to the Poor law Board to issue an order apportioning ray excess of ex penditure, in and about relief, duriog the quarter, above ls. 3d. in the pound, on the net rateable value ofithe union over those unions of the county whose poor-rate expenditure is not in • similar position. I dose this statement by saying that the Nitration of Ashton-under-Lyle illustrates that of such places as Preston, Blackburn, Stockport, and other similar localities. And perhaps I may be permitted, even in this official communication, to assure those benevolent per sons in England and the colonies who me now charitably aiding the Lancashire workpeople, that their subscriptions are saving thousands of mentorious operatives and their children, whose spirits are yet unbroken, from the necessity of applying for parochial relief, and are, at the same time, attaching to themselves a class of people whose present conduct is a guarantee of their sterling goodness. The following grants were made.-Note. (District No. 1.)

Mr. HorWOOD HUTCHINSON announced that he bad withdrawn his name as patron of the Lancashire Relief Bans, on the ground that it bad been turned into a lottery. A deputation from Leda, consisting of Mewls. E. Baines, M.P., the Mayor, and the Rev. E. Jackson, waited upon the ssentive committee, and had an interview with them. On being introduced The Mayor of LEEDS said he had great pleasure in banding to the committee a cheque for 3,0001. as the first instalment from Leeds. In all they had collected 16,0001. in that horough, which sum would be devoted to the relief of the refiring operatives in the cotton manufacturing districts. The deputation were anxious to have several questions answered. . Mr. E. BATNIS, M.P., said that a very liberal and lively feeling was expressed in Leeds for the sulfating operatives by all classes working men as well as the wealthy. Weir, bear.) They had established an organisation for the weekly and monthly collection of moneys in the mills and works of Leeds, which they hoped would continue to work successfully. In Leeds there was the most entire confidence reposed in the Central Executive Committee; and although the committee which the deputation represented bad not determined to send all aid through the Central Executive Committee exclusively, still, as a rule, they had determined to send through it their funds. They wished, however, to ask several questions, the first of which was, is the amount of relief such as will support the unemployed operatives in health, and prevent them from sinking into debility and sickness? Lord DERBT said that the best answer the committee could give to the question just asked was, that the com mittee from the relief fund was giving a larger weekly amount per head than the boards of guardians. And, in addition, he might say that the executive committee had constantly been representing to the board of guardians the Lurgent necessity there was for their increasing their weekly bwance to the poor Mr. Bsisms—We are very glad to bear that, I am sure. Mr. Commissioner FARNALL remarked that he might state, in addition to what Lord Derby had just said, that the average rate of relief by the board of guardians had been Menased from Is. 2d. per head to le. rid, and that the Liter sum would soon be increased too. (Hear, bear.) Lerd DERBY—From the first we have constantly been pressing the board of guardians to increase their rate of raid. We have also greatly increased our grants. This committee feels deeply indebted to the ladies of Leeds, I am sure, for sending us the clothing they have collected. Wear, hear.) Sir JANIS Sgurttrworra said the amount given by the Ideal relief committees was 2s. per week r bead and Toady for coals. The grant they made f or clothing gave as amine of 3e. per head. The average amount of relief given by boards of guardians did not amount to more than shout Is. 9d. per head. Colonel WILSON Parrot, M.P., said that the executive committee had to regulate its grants and payments in ac cordance with the amount of money they had in hand. They had generally granted motley for a month, and had kept a two months' fund in hand. As their funds were in creased. so they increased their grants. Mr. E. Bnxits—The second question we have to salt is. can the committee state what is the average amount of relief per head from all sources? Colonel WILSON PATTEN said that probably Ashton under Lyne might be taken as a fair illustration, and there the relief received from all sources was at the rate of 2s. 2d. per bead. hir J. K. Serrniwosvm said that amount would be about the same per head in East Lancashire. MT. BAINUS —Our third question, Does the Lancashire Central Executive Relief Committee expect from the locali ties which it aids that they should raise a fair and consider able proportion of their funds from parochial rates, so as to give anauviiime to benevolent donors that their charity will sot be used to save the owners of property from doing their dimity? Mr. M. Boss said that in the town of Oldham there were 5,000 ratepayers, and in consequence of the poverty and increased rate one-third of them bad been relieved front payment and_ the probability was, that if the rate were wan increased one-third more would have to be relieved. Mr. BUNTS said they sought the information they asked sot so much for themselves as for others. . . . . Lord Deane said that because it might happen that the sides could not be increased or could not be paid, they (the executive committee) could not therefore let the people starve. The committee required to be very fully answered as to the relief that was being dispensed in each town, and the sources from which it was derived. If ever the execu tive committee thought any place was not locally subscribiog according to its moans, they always called its attention to the fact when they made a grant of money. That was all they could do. Mr. B.USES—We are satisfied that you are doing all you con to see that a fair amount of charity is dispensed. The mat questioe is, Do the committee consider all districts where distress exists from Liss failure of the cotton supply, Including those in the county of York, to be equally within the reach of the grants? Lord DElST—Certainly. Todmorden ham already had a pant. Mr. BADMS—I was sure your answer would be a satis factory one. The other day we had a large contribution refused to us on the ground that you would not give aid to the distressed towns in Yorkshire, such as Todmorden, Our fifth question is—The Leeds committee having nearly 2101)!. in hand, to be applied to the redemption of clothes out of pawn, they with to know if the Central Relief Committee concur with them that sacha method of relief is highly desirable. Lord DERBY said that a special fund had been opened for the purpose of redeeming pawned clothing and for the purpose of furnishing parties with uew clothiug. The com mittee proposed to mark the new clothes, so as to make them nominally their property, and to prevent their being Pledged- Mr. Commi.-' THE CASE OF MYSTERIOUS POISONING IN ififfielßE. We have already reported a mysterious death from poisoning at the little village of Ludwell, in • remote part of Wiltshire. During the past week the person placed in custody (Mrs. Trowbridge), on suspicion of having poi. mooed the deceased, Mrs. Ann Kiddie, has undergone exami nation before the magistrates. Evidence was first given by Dr. Shettle, the medical attendant of the deceased, who repeated his opinion that so irritant poison was the cause of death ; and afterwards by Mr. Herapatb, the eminent analy tical chemist of Bristol, who detailed at considerable length the result of his examination of the portions of the intestines forwarded to him by Dr. Shettle. Mr. Herapath bad clearly traced the . presence of bis moth, silver, antimony, and arsenic. Thinking that the medicines used by Dr. Shettle might possibly have contained poison, Mr. Herapath requested that open mens of them should be sent to him. He examined 27 out of the 28 forwarded, and found no trace of arsenic. The bismuth and antimony be could account for. Four several specimens of the papers in the deceased's house were also examined by Mr. Herapatb, but though he found that some of them contained arsenic, be was of opinion that they had exercised no injurious effect on the deceased. He was of opinion that there was stiffizient arsenic in the body to account for death, but he could not may that it was sufficient to have caused death. After further evidence the magistrates directed that, upon the evidence that had been adduced, they could not further detain the prisoner, but, as it was adviaable to complete the investigation, they would hold her to bail to appear in a fortnight. The spec tators made a feeble attempt to applaud the decision, and subsequently a subscription was made for the accused. The inquest was brought to a conclusion on Friday afternoon, at Ludwell, before the coroner, Mr. R. M. Wilson. Dr. Shettle was again examined, and evi dence was given by Dr. Harley, of Harley-street, London, to whom a portion of the viscera bad been forwarded by order of the coroner. Dr. Harley had discovered tread of poimon, and expressed his confident belief that death had born occasioned by an irritant. After Mr. Kiddie had been examined, Mrs. Trowbridge was called. She detailed her treatment of her deceased friend, and denied all knowledge of any poison having been used. The jury, after bearing Dr. Shettle and Dr. Harley, did not dome that Mr. Hera path should be called, but at Mr. Chitty 's requei.t Dr. Roberts was dined e• a witness, and gave reasons for the belief he entertained that the deceased had not died from poison. The jury, however, thought otherwise, and returned an open verdict that the deceased bad died from the effects of an irritant poison, but by whom administered there was no evidence to show. LIFE AND DIA= IN Sr. GlLES'S.—Yesterday Dr. Lamb:der held inquiries at the Rose and Crown Tavern, Kingetreet, St. Giles's, respecting the deaths of two women, dirnizens of that locality, and in the course of the proceed ings some curious facts were elicited with reference to the criminal classes which infest the neighbourhood of Drury. lane. The first case was that of Georgians Savage, aged 71, wbo bad been for several year, well known in Oxford. street and Holborn as a beggar of the most miserable and pertinacious type. Dr. Bennett, medical officer of St. Giles 's Workhouse, said she was well known at that institution, as it bad been her habit for years to imply. when reduced to the last state of starvation, for one night's lodging and re freshment Nothing, however, could induce her to remain in the house for a day, because by doing so she would re linquish her chance of getting gin to drink, for which she was willing to undergo any extremity. She had been, perhaps, to all the workhouses in the metropolis, but had never remained in one for twenty-four boors. She passed . her time in the streets, importunately begging, that she might get drunk. She was recently brought to the workhouse in a state of the most shocking emaciation. The bones were almost pro truding from her skin, and her feet were swollen from cold and disease. She MIS huddled up in rags, filthy and repul sive beyond description. She died from apoplexy, resulting from excessive drink. The next case was that of a woman who was found insensible in a doorway of a house in Barley. oourt, Drury-lane, by an unfortunate named daily. According to her own statement before she died, she got her living at night in Oxford-street. She died as she was being in • chair to be taken to the workhouse. The jury planed made some inquiries respecting Barley-court, • police-constable of experience said that • place of worse character did not exist in the metropolis. To say that who ever ventured into it would be robbed was to say nothing. People were not only robbed there, but stripped of their very clothing. Prostitutes and thieves of the most despe rate clan resided there, and the former were worse than the latter. To say that three or four persons were stripped there every week was to Say less than the reality. Dr. Bennett said that recently it came to his knowledge that a man had been robbed in one of the houses and stripped naked, and then the thieves bad the audacity to roll a blanket around him, stitch him op is it so that he could not move • limb, and thrust him in that ridiculous state into the street, with a large label containing the word "Thief " pinned over his breast. The deceased woman it was proved died from the effects of debility arising from her mode of life and from excessive drinking. The coro ner, gemming up, remarked that it was an extraordinary etreanastroce that in the very heart of the metropolis such a none of crime and vice should exist up to the preeent tav esa The jury, in each case, returned a ve r dict of firm micemire drinkbig." L NOVEMBER 25, 1862. Lab) intelligenct. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. William Bayley Bray, a gentlemanlyilooking man, who was stated to be • civil eagmeer, surrendered to t ake LIB trial upon • charge at wilful and corrupt perjury Serjeant Parry was spacially retained, to conduct the prosecution. &lila Salentine, who 1011.9 also specially retained, and Mr. oollett, were counsel for the defendant. This case occupied the attention of the court for a con siderable time, and the circumstances under which the charge wee preferred were of a complicated and some what unusual character. The prosecutors of the indict ment'were Messrs. Waterlow,.thelithographers and printers, of Birohin-lane and Parliament-street, and they im puted the offence of wilful and corrupt perjury to the defendant upon the following facts. It appeared that in April, 1858, a person named James Crane, who it wan alleged was jointly concerned with the defendant and • person named John Arthur in endeavouring to get up • mining company and dispose of some property in Car dingaushire, called the Hafod estate, applied to Messrs. Waterlow to lithograph certain plans connected with this property, and as the result certain work of this description wan done by the prosecutors, the cost of which amounted to 71. 16s. During the negotiation with Crane he errodnced an agreement purporting to be signed by the defendant and Arthur, and which had reference to the projected company, and to the shares that each of the parties was to receive in the event of the; pro ject being carried out successfully, and this agreement was left in the porcesion of the Messrs. Waterlow. There appeared to be no doubt that the project for the promotion of the company . was a failure, and the prosecutors found some difficulty in getting their money, but no legal proceed ings were taken by them with that object until the month of March, 1860, when an action was brought against the de fendant in the Secondaries' Court of the city of London, to recover the money to which they were entitled for the work that had been done by them. Upon the hearing of the cause an endeavour was made to establish the liability of the defendant by the evidence of Crane, and the production of the agreement referred to, but the defendant came forward and gave evidence to the effect that he had nothing to do with the proposed company, and he repudiated the agreement altogether. and said that the signature of William Bray that appeared to it was not hie handwriting, and that he always signed William Bayley Bray. Upon this evidence the jury returned a verdict for the defendant, and at the request of his counsel the agree ment that had been produced was impounded. Sono afterwards, however, the prosecutors received further information, upon which they obtained the grant of • new trial, which came on for hearing on the 12th of June, 1861, this delay, it appeared, having arisen from • variety of causes. When this wooed trial came on Crane was again examined, and he repeated the evidence he had previously given : the defendant did not appear, and the prosecutors obtained • verdict for the amount they defendant was en dto the Guildhall Poli Th c e e-court to answer • then charge of summone wilful perjury arising out of the proceedings already referred to, but upon the hearing which took place before Mr. Alderman Copeland tho summons was dismissed. Shortly after this proceeding bad taken place at Guildhall the defend ant commenced an action against the Messrs. Waterlow to recover damages for a malicious prosecution, and the canes was set downier trialin November 1861, but on the day it was appointed to take place the attorney for the defendant withdrew the record. The cause did come on for trial in the month of June in the present year before sir. Justice Mellor, when the defendant was examined, and he repeated the evidence that be had formerly given, and it was upon certain portions of the evidence so given by him that the arraignments of perjury contained in the present indictment were founded. There were several distinct allegations of perjury against the defendant, but the material ones that were relied upon were that be had falsely sworn that he was in no way connected with the mining speculation re ferred to, and that tho signature to the agreement was not his handwriting. It should be stated that upon the trial of the action for the malicious prosecu tion, the case of the defendant, the then plaintiff, broke down upon his cross-examination, and his counsel elected to be nonsuited ; and Mr. Justice Mellor, the learned judge who tried the cause, gave his sanction fur the present pro secution being instituted. A great deal of evidence was adduced in order to estab lish the charge against the defendant, • considerable por tion of which was of • documentary character, and con tinua of letters written by him to Arthur, one of the persons named in the agreement, referring to the mining property and the company that was proposed to be formed, and which appeared to leave very little doubt that he was a party to the proceeding, and was perfectly well aware of all that was going on. In are of the letters that was put in the defendant appeared to have specially referred to the work that was being done by the prosecutors, and 000 of the witnesses swore that the defendant bad admitted to him that he had signed the agreement which be sub sequently repudiated when under examination upon his oath. Several witnesses were also examined who expressed a positive opinion that the signature to this agreement was the handwriting of the defendant. Evidence was like wise given to show that the defendant was not a member of the lustitute of Civil Engineers, but that a gentleman named William Bayley Bray was a member of the institute, audit was suggested that for some purpose or other the defendant bad &damned the name of that gentleman. Serjeant Ballantine at the close of the case for the prose cution submitted that it ought not to go to the jury, inas much as there was • fatal variance between the form of the charge as stated in the indictment and the evidence, it being alleged in the former that the defendant committed the offence imputed to him in the course of an action "duly tried" by • jury, whereas by the evidence it appeared that the jury did not dispose of the case at all, but that the plaintiff consented to he nonsuited. This, be submitted, was • fatal variance, and that the variance was of such • character that the court had no power to exercise the right vested in it by the statute of amending the indictment. Serjesnt Parry contended that as far as was practicable the action bad been " duly tried? The jury were sworn, the witnesses were examined, and the jury were ready to give their verdict, and would have done so but for the act of the defendant himself, who withdrew from prosecu ting the inquiry any farther. The Recorder, after some further discussion, said that at present he did not think there was anything in the objec tion, but if, upon further consideration, he should see any thing to alter his opinion, he would reserve the point for further consideration, if such • course should become necessary. on behalf of Serjeant Ballantine having addressed the jury the defendant, Several witnesses, some of whom were persons of high commercial position and respectability, were than examined, and they stated that the defendant had always borne the character of a highly honourable man, sod that they had never heard the slightest imputation upon his morality or integrity until this transaction. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time recommended the defendant to the merciful consideration of the court on account of the character he had received. The learned Judge mid he should defer passing sentence until he had further considered the point of law that had been raised on behalf of the defendant, and whether or not he ought to reserve it for consideration by the Court of Appeal in criminal cases. Margaret Thompson, 40, &buxom looking woman, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously marrying ames Quinlan, her husband, Thomas Hart Thompson, bein J alive. In answer to questions put by the learned Recorder it was stated that the prisoner left her first husband, and when she had been married a short time to the second she left him also, and then it appeare she went to the police station and gave herself up ore th d e present charge. The prisoner said that the reason she left her first hus band was that be used to ill-treat her. The Recorder said this was no excuse for her deceiving the second husband. However, under all the circumstances of the case, he thought the requirements of justice would be satisfied by his sentencing her to three mouths' imprison ment and hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before T. Chambers, Esq., Q.C., Common Serjeant.) The cases tried in this court during the day were those pr o secuted by th e Mint authorities, and it has been ar ranged, that for the future all indictments against prisoners for passing base coin will, in this court, take the precedence I of the other business. THE POLICE COURTS. MARYLEf3ONE. James Wadden was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with cutting his wife's throat at No. 3, New Church-street. with intent to murder. It will be remembered that the deposition of the wife was taken in a very painful manner immediately after the occurrence on Monday morning last, when she was not ex pected to survive the injury she had received. Sbe has sines been recovering. A medical certificate was now given in, that the chief drawback to her recovery was spasmodic attacks of coughing. "The wound is granulising healthily, but at present has no tendency to sloes. She still breathes entirely through the wound in the front part of, her Deck. She miscarried on Saturday night at 1 1 . 45 with a small child, dead. She is doing well, and we hope in a few days to report her to be out of danger." Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week. A charge of bigamy will be preferred against him, his first wife being now alive. WESTMINSTER. Timothy Sullivan was charged with assaulting and rob bing Mrs. Sarah Marino!' under the following impudent circumstances : Prowecutrix, a respectable married woman, stated that on Saturday night, at a quarter to 12 o'clock, she was in Sloane street with her husband and two friends, the latter of whom were waiting for the omnibus to take them to Isling ton, when the prisoner came up and clutched her by the throat. Mr. Paynter—Hed you seen him before? Promentrix—No ? I saw nothing of him till he threw his arms mead my sock. Mr. Paynter—la what way did he do it Prossostriz—He seised me by the neck and dog his fingers =, having the marks of his nails. (Complaioant here MOM scratches the result of the prisoner's violence.) I serearned out, and my husband came and rescued me. prisoner forcibly took the brooch, value It. 15.., out of ' toy shawl, and then tore the shawl off my back. A niessber of men surrounded him so that he should not be takes, sad celled me eery bed names. John Hartnoll, 54, College-greet, Chelsea, foreman of building works, said—This impudent attack occurred at the top of Sloane-street, the Knightsbridge end, at a time when the neighbourhood was thickly crowded. He did not see the assault, but bearing his wife Sall&M, turned round, and saw her, his friend, and the prisoner, all struggling together in the gutter, upon which he went to their 'mistime. Mr. Paynter inquired it the brooch had been found. The police replied in the negative. In answer to f urther inquiries from the magistrate, cutor said the instant prisoner was apprehended he was sur rounded by his comrades, and had plenty of opportunity to pass the brooch away. His companions abused his wife most greenly, and one called out " She is only a give it her, let her have it." He tried to seize this man, but he got away. William Woolrich confirmed a portion of the above evidence. John Downs, 94 B, said be was attracted to the spot by Mn. Hartaoll's screams, and took the prisoner into custody. He did not see the attack upon preeecutrur, but he was out more than 40 or 50 yards elf at the time in uniform. Mr. Paynter said these ruffians really seemed to b s getting more daring, instead of being deterred by the heavy sentences passed upon others of their class. Here was a respectable woman, surrounded by her friends, gerotted and robbed under the very eyes of the police, in one of the busiest thoroughfares in London at that time on Saturday night. The worthy magistrate remanded the prisoner for a week. A respectable looking man here 'stepped forward and asked that the accused might be admitted to boil , as ho could give him a good character. Mr. Paynter said certainly not. He wondered anyone could come forward and have the impudence to ask such a thing. LONDON WEEXL7 RETUBNEL—Nov. 22.
