her say that she had boon to one near threnoseter. She did not take Pug and Joe with her. Mr. Hawkins—Was not Mr. Turner often at home when Mr. Wedgwood was then? Witness—Yee. He would ask if the doctor was likely to be in the surgery, and if he was told " yes," he would go very softly out by the back way ; but if he was told that the doctor was in the drawing.room, he would go out by the front door. Mr. Hawkins—But, you see, that is not what I asked you. (Laughter.) Witness--He was often in Mr. Turner's company. They appeared . friendly, but Mr. Turner often complained of his running in and out so much. Mrs. Turner did not like to go out with the doctor. He ones offered to take her to Richmond, and he would offer to go fishing with her. Sir C. Creereell—That is such a cruel sport that she would not, of course, like it. (A laugh.) Witner—Ete has taken her to the theatre, and taken her out after dinner. I went to Mrs. Tenant's because she had told me to fetch her if anyone called. The cook at Tennant's told me she was in Mr. Wedgwood's room. I went and knocked at the door. She called ont to me to own° in, and I found her lying on the bed. Wedgwood was in the bed meting on his arm. I merely said Miss Sedgwick had called, and left the room. Amongst the visitors who stayed at Mr. Turner's was the Count de Courson. He occasionally went out with Mrs. Turner. He used also some times to visit her in her bedroom. Mrs. Tur ner said that French gentlemen did not mind doing that. Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Sharphill, Mr. Wakefield, Mr. Keys, and Mr. Scatcherd also visited the house. The two first h ad been schoolfellows of Mr. lon Turner (the respondent's son). They went into Mrs. Turner's bedroom. Mr. Scateherd was in it the morning before she left the hones ; bat I was present. Mr. Scatcherd is about as old se Mr. Wedgwood, or perhaps • little younger. Mr. and Mrs. Turner had @ope rate morns all the time I was there. They were both on the second floor. lon Turner's room was on the next floor above. Mr. Wedgwoood used slaws to have his curling irons heated at the gas stove in Mrs. Turners room. There was not ens in his. Should say that he was given to drink from what be had in the house. He used to say he was always thirsty. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins -- Then, to use a term which we heard yes terday, he was sometimes " screwy." Witesse—l don't know the word. Have seen him the worse for liquor. James Bony, husband of the last witness-1 drive Mr. Turner's brougham. In March, 1861, I took Mrs. Turner and Mr. Wedgwood to Richmond in • private hansom. I set them down at four o'clock. I was told to go to the Star and Garter for them at seven in the evening. I went there and remained for about half an hour, after which I took them back to Kensington. (in the doctor's birthday I drove Mrs. Turner in the brougham to Charing-cross, where I took op Mr. Wedg wood. We then went to Covent-garden to buy a nosega y and afterwards home through the park. This was about seven o'clock. About the middle of the park my attention was attracted by • movement of the cernsge, and by hearing an extensive laugh. Mrs. Turner was seated in Mr. Wedgwood's lap. From bee exten sive dress I could not see him—the man was quite smothered. (Laughter.) In the May following I drove them on the Acton-road. Mr. Wedgwood ordered me to irtop at a quiet house ae soon as I saw one. I did so, and he ordered me to get down and ask the landlord if there was a quiet room into which he could take • lady. Mrs. Turner at first objected to go upstairs ; but she ulti mately went. They stayed an hour, and when they came beck they both seemed much flushed. She has often told me that when her son was married she would leave Mr. Turner. Have heard her all Wedgwoood "Robert," " Egerton," "Bobby," and " Baby." (Laughter.) She told me that be was going to take • situation, and that he wail living opposite the Oratory, at Brampton. This was after he had left my master's. I have called cabs for Mrs. Turner. One Sunday, during Divine service, I fetched one for her. She had it brought about a couple hundred of yards from the house, for she said she did not want the doctor to know. She told me to drive to the co-respondent's lodgings. The same thing happened • second time. She once gave me a half-crown, which she said Wedgwood had seat me. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. C3eamiseioner Bolroyd.) Toe bankrupt, a tin-plate worker, of Bermondsey, applied for his order of discharge. Mr. Lugs supported. Mr. Lewis, for the assignees, offered no opposition. A creditor opposed in person and charged the bankrupt with gulag on obtaining goods np to the eve of his bank ruptcy, when he must have known he could not pay for them. He had kept his books in such a manner that no one could make either end or side of them. . Hu Honour did not see anything in the ceoe to bring it within the "specified offence'," and granted the order. IN RE FICSCHINNON. The bankrupt was late a clerk in the Admiralty. Debts under 3001. This was a sitting for order of discharge. Mr. Stanford opposed, for Meant Bowen and Co., wine merchants, of Feochurch-street ; Mr. Brough sup po Bowen stated that the bankrupt called on him in December last, and ordered a quantity of wine. He repre sented that he had large private mean', which would be available in the course of the next year. But for that repro. sentation the wine would not have heal supplied. Bank rupt also raid that he had 3,0001., and thought of going into the wine trade, as he was tired of the War-office. At one time he promised payment in a fortnight The bankrupt was introduced by &Mr. Thompson, who said that his father was au admiral, and a wealthy man. He bad invited the bankrupt to dinner, and he got drunk at hie house. Whams charged him with drinking the wins too fast. He had bad 271. of wine in three months. He had more lost hi situation. The bankrupt stated that his salary was only SOL a year. Mr. Stanford submitted that, as the bankrupt's expen diture bad been 2001. a year, and as be had consumed 271. worth of wine in three mouths be bad been guilty of gross extravagana. His Honour did not think that general representations were auffieient to support a charge under the penal clauses of the act. The order would be granted, and Mr. Bowen must be more careful in future about giving credit to so large an amount to young men in the position of the bank rupt. (Before Mr. Commies '. IN RE LORD GEORGE OSBORNE Goalbaro.) 1.48H1ND.-11 OF THE ORDER OF DISCHARGE. A rule nisi had been obtained in this cue at the instance of the trade assignees, calling on Lord George to show cause why his last examination should not be rescinded, on the ground of concealment of property ; and the matter now stood for argument. This was also a sitting for order of disoharge. Ur. it. Griffiths appeared for the assignee, and Mr. Bar good for the bankrupt. Mr. Griffiths said he was instructed, on the part of the assignee, to withdraw the charge made against Lord George of having abstracted a portion of his property. It appeared that the boxes which had been removed were not the pro. perty of Lord George, but of somebody else. Sioce the last sitting inquiries had been made, and they bad seen the parties to whom the boxes really belonged. His Honour said in that ease the proper course would be to dischargethe rule that had been obtained. Mr. &mood—This was not necessary, as the rule was a dropped role through want of sufficient notice. The court had so treated it, giving leave to the asaignee to take out • froth rule if he were so advised. In the meantime he had seen the affidavits filed on the part of Lord George, and was fully satisfied that no fresh rule had been applied for. On referring to the proceedings it was found that there was no minute of the last sitting, and his Honour ob serving that it was most important that their proceedings should be regular, directed it to be made nuns pro tune. Before this was done the missing document was found, and his Honour said he should make an order discharging the rule. Mr. Griffiths said he should not object to the bankrupt having his order of discharge, but the assignee thought that Lord George, being in the receipt of a fixed income, should eet a portion of it aside for payment of his creditors. Two years ago he had been insolvent, owing 3,000/., and sot a farthing had been paid of those debts. He asked that the order should be adjourned for six months, Lord George to make a return of his income from time to time. The Commissioner—W hat is the nature of his income? Mr. Griffiths said he had 5001. a year, minus certain dr ductions, from his brother, the Marquis of Townsheod. His Honour doubted whether this was such an income as could be made the subject of a coudition in the order el discharge. The words of the act were " income due to the bankrupt." Mr. Griffiths cooteoded that the income was of a nature to be brought within the act. His Hooonr said there could be no doubt that the marquis would do what be had hitherto done to help his brother ; but this was a mere gratuity, and could not be said to be due to the bankrupt. The court was bound to deal equal justice to high and low, and would put to Lord George the one question—What reasonable expectation be had of paying the debts he had contracted, after being once insolvent? Mr. Sargood said he was quite taken by surprise by the application of his learned friend. He bad been told there would be no further opposition to Lord G. Townshend, and Mr. Griffith,' had said that he ; did not object to the order of discharge being granted. The course now taken was like blowing hot and cold. His Honour said that he always put the question as to the expectation of payment in oases where there had been a former insolvency ; and he did this whether the bankrupt was °ppm& or not. The court was directed by the 159th section to proceed to consider the conduct of the bankrupt. Lord G. Townshend was here sworn. The Commissioner—Finding that you were insolvent two years ago-- Lord George—Four years ago. Mr. Sargood said the petition was filed in October, 1837 a" TM'S ago. The Commissioner—Not having paid any of your former debts, amounting to 2,7001., what reasonable or probable expectation had you of paying the debts you have since contracted ? Lor4 George—The debts were not of my oontractieg, though I in responsible for them in law. My own debt to Mr. fooling, the assignee. is only about 31. The debts were contracted when i was not at the place. The Commissioner—By whom were they contracted Lord George—By Lady George. Mr. Bargood asked if the allowance from the marquis was paid to him personally. Lord George—lt is paid to Lady George. His Honour said he did not think that be could annex any condition to the discharge affecting this income he should be going beyond the act of parlie meat if he did so. The words of the act • were, "salary, pay, emolument, profit, wages, earnings, or I income, which may afterwards become due to the bank rapt." It was an act of kindneee on the part of his bmther I I the marquis, and could not be said to be due to the bank rupt Bat this was a clear case of contracting debts with. oat reasonable or probable expectation of paying them. Formerly insolvents were liable for their past debts , it was so in this case ; and the excuse made by Lord George that his lady had contracted the debts had something of Wisner in it and was no answer M the question as to the napeotation of payment. He had now contracted farther debts to the amount of 1,1001. ; and for this offence, con ; trading such debts without probable means of payment, I the order of discharge must be suspended for six calendar months from that date. Mr. Sargood—Having regard to the fact that Lord George has been some months in prison, may I ask your Honour for protection The Commimioner— Yes ; you have anticipated me. I was going to say that I should give protection. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) Charlettc Jackson, 26, a miserable-looking creature, was charged with the manslaughter of her child Margaret Jackson, by starvation and ill-treatment. Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. It appeared that the prisoner was the wife of a seaman, who was at sea following his occupation, and the prisoner was in the receipt of 21. se. per mouth from the owners of the vessel in which he was employed. In August the prisoner took &lodging in the house of a Mrs. Howell, in Chapman street, St. George'ri-in-the-pact, taking with her the child in question, which was about fifteen months old, and not weaned. At first she appeared to treat the child kindly ; but the prisoner was frequently given to drink, and about November she began to neglect the child very much, and used to go out and leave it four or five boars together, some time. locking the door of the room. On some occasion when she happen to leave the door open, Mrs. Howell, the land lady, went up on healing the child cry, and often gave it food. Sometimes on going into the room she found the child and lying on the bed entirely naked. The child became and)vaq GI rs. Howell urged the prisoner to have some me dical advice, as she was sure it would not live. She obtained an order for the medical officer of the nolo" to visit the child, and upon his doing so he directed the prisoner to go to the Faand get some medicine, for which he gave her the ption. This, however, she neglected to do. On turdy, the Mid November, the child became so bad that Mrs. Howell procured au order for the admission of the prisoner and her child into the union. On the pri mmer presenting herself with her child she was quite in toxicated, andj the child was taken into the house and pro perly taker' care of, and the prisoner was given moo custody. It appeared that when one of the witnesses, who had formerly employed the pri soner as a tailor's', persisted in fetching a doctor, she told her to mind her own business, and threatened to have her life, and after the doctor ha d seen the child the prisoner put a poker in the Are and struck her with it over the head, and upon her ann. Shortly after the child was admitted into the workhoms it died, and upon a post mortem examination being made, was found to be very much emaciated ; some sores were on the head, otherwise the child was in a healthy state—at least there was no apparent disease which could have caused death, and the medical officer armored his opinion that the chill died from venial noeut and neglect. The prisoner stated that the witness, in whose employ she was, was the very person who had led her on to drink, and got her into all her trouble, and that she had never ill-used her child. The jury totted the prisoner Guilty, and the learned judge sesteaced her to 12 months' imprisonment. Book Moms, a respectable-looking roue, surrendered to take his trial for the manslaughter of Edward Lee. Mr. Liffey prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ribton. The facts of the case have recently appeared, and they were of a very peculiar character. It appeared that on the 20th of November the prisoner and the deceased, both of whom were the worse for liquor, dined together at the Somerset Hotel in the Strand, and after dinner they began to play with the cheese knives and convened about fencing, and the prisoner proposed to show the deceased the difference between carte sad tierce, and they got up for the purpose, each having a cheese-knife in his band. They then made several passes at each other, and the deceased received a wound in the belly, which sensed his death. There was, of course, not the slightest imputation of malice against the prisoner, and the affair was no doubt to a certain extent quite accidental, but the pre sent charge was sought to be supported by the suggestion that the prisoner was guilty of criminal negligence in using a dangerous weapon. While the deceased was lingering he repeatedly stated that he completely exonerated the pri , sonar from any blame in the transaction, and that it was ' purely an accident. The jury stopped the case, and said they thought it was i an accident. The y . returned a verdict of Not Guilty, sad the prisoner was discharged. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) Charles Lemma:, Ludwig Sygorern, Henry Lenmaa, and John Winder, all German seamen, were indicted for feloniously wounding John Peter Erichaen. Mr. Bilden prosecuted. It appeased that the prosecutor was upon the evening of the 18 November in a coffee-house at Mherhithe, when the prisoners, whom it appeared had been drinking at a beer shop close by, where they had been assaulted by some one, came in, and mistaking the prosecutor for the man who bad siaaulted them, fell upon him with their knives sad cut him most frightfully about the head and face. The jury found them Guilty, but recommended Leaman to mercy as he had not taken so prominent • part iu the affray as the others. The Court thereupon sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment, and the other three to eighteen months'. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERICEN WELL. PERJURY SY CHILDREN. Yesterday, a man, who gave the name of William Bran hell, a brazier, residing at 6, Great Warner-street. Clerk seawall, was charged with being drunk and umulting Ann Jordan, 'lied 12, of 35, Eyre-street-bill ; and Martha Voller, eyed 11, of 22. Back-bill, St. Andrew's, at Wood-street, well, with intent to commit a rape. Xr. Barker fully committed the prisoner to the sessions for trial. Last night the mothers of the two girls attended, and stated that their daughters had informed them th►t the whole of their statement was trumped up, and was untrue. The girls were called. and each accused the other of tell ing her to state what she had. There was no truth what ever in what they had sworn, and they had only done it for a " lark." Mr. Barker characterised the conduct d the girls as most wicked, scandalous, and disgraceful, and stated that they were the most depraved children he bad ever seen. Be directed police-sergeant John Trawin, 402 A, to make in quiries about the children. and to ascertain if they had been tampered with in any way. He remanded the pri soner until Tuesday next, to await the result of the sergeant's inquiry. but he expressed his determination to send the case for trial, so that the judge might punish the children aa he thought fit In ordering the children to leave the court he again cha racterised their conduct as most wicked and ban in the extreme. The prisoner said he had not tampered with the children, and he was sure hie friends had not, for they were not aware th►t he was in trouble. He said that he was drunk, and did not remember what had occurred. Mr. Barker said that this ma another of the mil effects of drunkenness, and remanded the primmer. DANGER Or PRACTICAL JOKING. Yesterday (Tuesday) James Johnston,, a night watchman, was tried in Dundee, before Sheriff Ogilvy and a jury, on the charge of stealing three table-k n i vee from a house in Prospect place, Dundee. It was explained by Mr. Paul, writer, for the accused, that on one OCCRiiOII be had left hie polio.- man's cape in the garden of the house in question ; and that it was carried off before he returned, the servant. having done this, he believed, as a practical joke at his expense. In order to retaliate, he had carried off the three knives which he was charged with stealing, but intended to re store them honestly. The jury, by a majority, held the explanation to be satisfactory, and brought in a verdict of notiguilty.—Edinturoli Courant. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad is fair') launched. The route will be by way of Sacramento, Washoe, and the Salt Lake. The stock subscribed on the first day was 400,000 dollars. The railroad will par over the Sierra Nevada, where there is an unbroken ridge from base to summit, so that the grade will not exceed 105 feet per mile. The expense of con struction is estimated at 88,000 dollars per mile. In order to prevent the snows of the Sierra Nevada from interrupting traffic, engines will be kept on the summit, with anow•ploughs to run over the line when snow begins to fall. The Indian title to all lands donated to the railwav company will be extinguished. To prevent speculation in land near the railway route, all lines within fifteen miles will be withdrawn from pre-emption. A grant of United States government bonds of six million dollars is made to the railway company. These bonds run for thirty years, and they draw interest at the rate of 6 per cent.. tad are irredeemable for that period.
