KUHE'S CONCERT. This gentleman's annual morning concert took place yesterday at St. James's-hall—the length of the Programme, the number of the pieces and of the performers, rendering the entertainment one of the class of "monster" concerts. These entertain meats are especially acceptable to those transient visitors to London who are desirous of hearing, at a single sitting, many of the most eminent singers of the day in a varied selection of pieces. The list of vocal per formers included the names of Mallet. Titiens, Sluice, Liebhart ; Mesdames Trebelli, Sainton-Dolby ; Signori Mongini, Cardoni ; Herr Reichardt, Mr. Hailer, Mr. Santley ; Signori Foli, Gassier, Pandolfini, and Herr ltokitansky. Ndlle.

Christina Nilson, whose characteristic singing of two Swedish lietkr (the second encored) was one of the features of the conceit The vocal pieces, of con trasted interest, are so well known as to call for no special comment. Among the instrumental performances those of the coocert-giver demand our first mention. Mr. Kibbe is a professor of considerable celebrity, both as a player and a composer of popular pieces and arrange ments for his instrument. In several instances, yesterday, he proved his possession of brilliant powers of execution — among others in Beethoven's sonata with violin (No. 3 of op. 30). cleverly accompanied by Herr Auer ; and in his solo performances, especially in his own fantasia on sub jects from Meyerbeer's L'Afriasine. The programme also included solos for the harp, by Mr. Aptommas ; the her ' =onion, by Herr Engel ; violin, by Herr Auer; and vio- loneello, by Signor Piatti. The room was crowded by an enthusiastic audience. Ottbal an?: Military. poßTsmotrrii, Jcia 12. The Simoom, 8, iron screw troopship, Captain T.

" That the employment of women and children in agriculture as evidenced by the gang sys tem only, should be subject to legislative supervision." 2. " That it is desirable that the education of agricultural children shall be encouraged and attended to; but it is unnecessary to introduce fur this purpose a measure of compulsory education, especially should it contain provi sions for the carryirg out of the half-time system (as pro pooled by Mr. Fawcett's bill now before parliament), which is totally inapplicable to agriculture."

EQUITY COURTS.—JuNs 12. (Before the Lords Justices.) RE THE GENERAL INTERNATIONAL AGENCY COMPANY (LIIIITSD). This company was fonned for the purpose of carry i ng on its business in England and in France. It had a board of directors in each of ti ose countries, and shares had been taken by persona resident in both countries. The com pany proved unsuccessful, and in 186.5 it was ordered to be wound up. A call was now required, and the official liqui dator proposed to serve notice of the intention to make it by sending a copy of the summons to all the members, English and French alike, by the post. The question was whether that would be good service on the shareholders in France. The Winding-up Act of 1848 expressly empowered the services of summonses to he effected abroad through the post; but the act of 1862 omitted that provision. , and the Master of the Rolls therefore desired that the point might be mentioned to the Lords Justices. The articles of association of the company provided that all notices might be served through the post on all members without distinction ; and the general rules of the court directed that service by post should be effectual where per sonal service was not required. Mr. Southgate, Q.C. (with him Mr. Brooksbank) now mentioned the case ; Mr. Graham Hastings appeared for a committee of shareholders who had liberty to attend the proceedings. Their lordships thought that service through the post on the contributories abroad ought not to be an impedi ment to the making of the call upon them. That step was only the foundation of proceedings before the foreign court to enforce the call, and in those proceedings the question might be raised whether the service was good or not? But merely to warrant the making of the call ser vice through the post would be sufficient. (Before the Master of the Rolla.) BARRED'S BANKING CoMPART, EX PARTE THE CONTRACT CORPORATION COMPANY. This case from chambers has occupied the court during the greater part of the day. The facts suffi ciently appear in his lordsip's judgment. This, he said, was an application by the official liquidator of Barned's Company to place the Contract Company on tae list of contributories of the former, which is being wound up here, in respect of 368 shares. It was his duty to produce the register of Earned's Company, and show that the Contract Company was there. The register con stituted the title to the shares, and the burden of proof lies on any one whose name is on it to show that it ought to be removed. His lordship here referred to the 37th clause of the Companies Act. It appeared that the Contract Company, wishing to take shares, applied to Mr. 11. Feeney, asking him to take shares in his name for them in Barned's Company, they undertaking to pay the deposits on the allotments, and also to pay all calls, &c., and to incur all liability incident to the taking of the shares. Mr. Feeney assented to this, and on these express terms applied for and obtained 388 shares. He was sub sequently asked by the secretary of the Contract Corpora tion to execute • transfer of these shares in blank. He executed a transfer thereof in December, 1865, but not altogether in blank, though neither the number of shares nor the company were specified. The Contract Company now disputed the validity of this transfer, but they did not attempt to show that Mr. Pearsey held any shares in any other company. This deed of transfer was returned to the Contract Company, whose secretary sent it to the office in London of Barned's Company. A date, namely, the Bth of January, was subeequently inserted in the deed, and so matters remained until March, when Mr. Moseley, a di rector, wrote stating that he would send t he transfers of these shares for registry to Liverpool, and they appeared to have been registered between March 26 and April 2. The re gistry having taken place primal facie, the Contract Com pany became shareholders. An objection to this propo sition had been taken on the ground that a week before the registry a petition had been presented to this court praying the winding up of the Contract Company. But • transferrer was not to be prejudiced by the neglect of the tranaferree to register. If it were even otherwise, was a vendor to be prejudiced by the insolvency of the vendee. Nor was the registry affected by the circumstance that the deed specified the consideration, and that the number of the shares to be transferred was subsequently filled in by the vendee. How was Feeney to know what was taking place in the company It did not lie with • purchaser to come forward and impeach the validity of the sale on the ground of misconduct, which was done for his own larefit. It was hardly agreeable to the court to see the secretary put forward to make this defence for the Contract Com pany, and to contest the validity of his own acts in the matter. If the concern bad been prosperous, and Mr. Pearsey had filed • bill for a retransfer of his shares, his case would have been met by affi davits very much at variance with those they had heard to-day. Upon the question whether it was ultra vices the Contract Company to take shares in Barned's Company, his lordship said he certainly was not prepared to say it was. On the contrary, under the me morandum and articles of association, which his lordship read and commented upon, he thought they were at liberty to do as they bad done. As to whether one joint stock company could take shares in another, his lordship said with his experience of the conduct of companies he should not hold that it could not. As to the question of authority to register the shares, when as here one com pany had sent and the other had registered them, be en tertained no doubt. As to whether an alteration in the memorandum, &c., of association of Barned's Company restricted their power, he thought it did not. The Con tract Company had notice of this. On these and other grounds his lordship came to the conclusion that the Con tract Company must remain on the list as contributories in respect of :368 shares. Each company must pay its own costs of this application. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Kekewick were for the official liquidator ; and Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., and Mr. Swanaton for the Contract Company. BAIL COURT.- JurrE 12. ' Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Before Mr. Justice Lush and a Common Jury.) LOIDL AND ANOTHER V. STRAMPTER. This was an action for an alleged breach of contract rela tive to the production of the " Ghost" scene at the defendant's theatre at Vienna. The defendant pleaded a variety of pleas, amongst others that the plaintiff had not complied with the terms of the agreement.

The plaintiffs arc the proprietors of the Pavilion Music Hall in the Haymarket, and are licencers of Dieeks and Pepper's apparatus for producing the well known illusion, " The Ghost." The defendant is the proprietor of the Imperial and Royal Theatre at Vienna. In July, 1863, a correspondence took place between the parties re lative to the production of the illusion in Vienna, which resulted in an agreement between them, whereby the plaintiffs were to perform for 14 nights, the defendant guaranteeing the receipts of the theatre should nightly amount to 3,000 florins, one dial( of which should be paid to the plaintiffs. There had been an unsuccessful performance of the ghost at the Joseph Theatre in Berlin, but Mr. Villiers, the plaintiffs' agent, subsequently presented it with great satisfaction at the Victoria Theatre in Berlin. It was about this tune the arrangement was come to between the plaintiffs and the defendant, and the former account of it was that the de fendant was in no particular hurry, because be was de sirous of bringing out a new piece, Miu A urora's Serret, in which the ghost wan to appear. Defendant, however, put another piece on the stage without the ghost (which materially interfered with the plaintiffs' arrangements), which did not summed. Mr. Villiers, however, after great trouble and delay, at last got the stage cut, the glasses fiscal, and on the night of the 15th August there was an undress successful rehearsal to a practised eye. but the figures being in black, only the face and bands were fully shown. Although but one ghost at a time had up to that period been produced, Mr. Villiers, at the defendant's re quest, produced four, and also made the ghost walk. Defendant, however, then said he wanted something dif ferent, and professed to be displeased, and desired to change the terms of the agreement. On the 17th August, the defendant still declining to carry out the agreement, the plaintiffs put the matter in the hands of a lawyer in Vienna ; but ex it was supposed to be an English contract the proceedings were stopped, and the plaintiffs then pro oeeded against the defendant in this country. Plaintiffs had been put to about 1001. expenses. Mr. Villiers, the plaintiff, and other witnesses were called in support of their case, and denied there was delay on their part. . . The defence was, that in consequence of the great ex. eitement which the production of a ghost eccasioned in 1863 the managers of all the continental theatres were most anxious to gratify their respective patrons, and the defendant entered into on arrangement with the plaintiffs. He telegraphed to them that the illusion must be pre sented in the commencement of August, but instead of that the apparatus did not arrive until the Ath. A further delay occurred until the ritli of Au gust, from the plaintiffs not being able to ob tain the gleams and other matters. Everything was then in confusion ; the performance was most unsatis factory, and the loss to the defendant bad been very great. Plaintiffs knew that several ghosts would be required to appear at the same time, but they only mode arrange ments for the production of four. All the persons who saw the rehearsal were dissatisfied, and so expressed themselves to Mr. Villiers. It was such, they said, as they dare not present to the public. Evidence was taken under a commission in Vienna on behalf of the defendant, which was to the effect that the plaintiffs had caused great delay, and that the experiments were unsuccessful, as they could not produce the ghosts in a complete and perfect form. It was further contended that the whole affair had been settled by the Austrian courts, and that the plaintiffs bad no right to proceed against the defendant in this country. Evidence was thee given with reference to the proceed ing taken by the plaintiffs in Austria. A power of attorney signed by the plaintiffs was put in, authorising an Austrian advocate to do all acts for them—to sue, com promise, and stay proceedings. Proceedings were com menced, ass' afterwards stayed, each party paying his own costa ; theefect of it was that by the Austrian law no turaitramaacidinga could be taken. Mr. Justice Lush said hip opinion was that the contract was en Austrian one, and th.et according to the Austrian law proceedings had been stayed, and that consequently the defendant had proved that plea. The court then went into the merits of the case. The manager of the theatre deposed that in the play of "Miss Aurora's Secret " six ghosts were to appear, but the plaintiffs never attempted to produce more than four. The figures were never perfect. Witness was one of the ghosts, and was dressed in a light suit. The persona present expressed great dissatisfaction at the rehearsal performance. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Juan 12. Sittings at Nisi Prins in Middlesex. —lBefore Lord Chief Justice Ilovill and a Common Jury.) BLENILARN O. HODGEB' DISTILLERS COMPANY (LIMITED). The plaintiff in this case had been a traveller in the employ of the defendants, and he claimed damages upon the ground that he had been discharged without receiving the three months' notice which had been ►greed for. The agreement to employ the plaintiff was dated the sth December, 1865, and the salary was to be 200/. a year, and there was to be' an allowance for travelling expenses. It was provided that the agreement might be terminated upon three months' notice being given on either side ; and there was this stipulation—" All moneys to be remitted immediately collected." On the Gth March, 1867, the plaintiff was dismissed; he was paid his salary up to that time, but nothing beyond. The defence was that he had sold champagne to Maria White, knowing her to be a married woman and the keeper of a brothel, which was described as a " first-class establishment," in Birmingham, without mentioning these circumstances to his employer.. It was further said that the plaintiff bad omitted to account for 181. which he had received from Maria White a year before, and for 121. and 51. 12s. Oil. which he had at a later period received from two other prisons. It was not suggested that this omis sion had arisen from any improper motive, and it seemed to be merely the result of forgetfulness. His Lordship, after bearing the witnesses, directed the jury that he did not think there was any evidence that the plaintiff knew that Maria White was married, or that she was in fact married. If, however, the plaintiff knew that she was a brothel keeper, and did not communi cate the fact to his employers, that would justify the dis missal, because they could not recover for goads which were sold to be used in the course of carrying on a brothel. If the jury should think that any one of the three awns had not been immediately remitted, that fact also would justify the dismissal. The jury found a verdict for the defendant'. COURT OF DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAMES.—Jour 12. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) STEEN C. STEEN AND GLOVER. In this case the Court made a decree nisi. BAUM r. TEZVANAND COOPER. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Q.C., Dr. and Mr. Inderwick for the petitioner ; Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey for the respondent ; Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey for the co-respondent, Teevan ; Dr. Spinka, Q.C., for Cooper. The petitioner, a young gentleman of fortune, had be come enamoured o f a person who called herself Florence Caroline Douglas Hope-Scott Douglas, who was alleged to have already been divorced, and after living with her for about a year married her on the t,th of January last. After this the respondent became not only extravagant, but extremely violent both in word and act, and a separation soon ensued. She returned to some chambers in Regent street where she had previously cohabited with - him. There she received the visits of the respondents, who went by the names of " Lord Hamilton," " Topsy," and other fancy designations. The respondent called herself " The Hon. Mrs. Baylis." There wu no defence, the co-respondents merely plead ing that they were not aware of the respondent's coverture. Sir J. Wilde took time to consider bow far his judgment would be affected by the husband's own conduct. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Willis.) S. Ste'plume, an Italian. aged 25, described u an agent, was charged with feloniously wounding Giuseppi I3ouges• vanni, with intent to murder him. . . . There was a second indictment charging the prisoner with having committed a similar offence upon Sobestani Bougeevanni, the brother of the prosecutor in the former Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Bealey conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. M. Williams and Mr. Gruen. This cue occupied the attention of the court for several bourn, but the facts lay in a very small compass, and they will be fresh in the recollection of the public. On the 24th of April there wan a ball in Newman-street, at which the prisoner, the prosecutors, and a number of other Italians, men and women, were present, and they all left at an early hour in the morning. The cue for the prosecution was that the prosecutor was standing in Wardour-street, when the prisoner came up to him, and without any provocation wounded him in several places with a stiletto. His brother came to his assistance, and he was also wounded, according to the evidence of the two brothers, by the prisoner ; and under these circumstances the present charges were preferred against him. The prosecutorand his brother upon being cross-examined declared most positively that no quarrel bad previously taken place between either of them and the prisoner iv the ball room, and that in point of fact the attack had taken place without any provocation on their part being given for it. A statement made by the prisoner when he was under examination by the magistrate was put in, in which he asserted that he had been assaulted and threat ened by the prosecutor and his brother, and that after he left he was attacked by them, and all that he did was in self-defence. Mr. Montagu Williams made an able address to the jury for the defence, and he urged in the first instance the ex treme improbability that the prisoner should have com mitted such an act of violence without any provocation, and then called several witnesses to establish the defence that was put forward for the prisoner, that be had been threatened with violence, and that an attack had been made upon him, and that all he did was to endeavour to protect himself. The learned Judge summed up the whole of the evidence on both sides with great care and minuteness, and he left to the jury the questions whether the prisoner had felo niously wounded the prosecutor with either of the intents mentioned in the indictment, or whether what he had done was merely in self-defence, and to protect himself from an attack that was made upon him by the prosecutor and his brother and their companions. The jury, after deliberating for about a quarter of an hour, returned their verdict, finding the prisoner guilty of unlawfully wounding. Mr. Sleigh said that as all the facts bad been so fully brought out in this inquiry be did not propose to offer any evidence in support of the second charge. Mr. Justice 'Willes, in passing sentence upon the pri soner, said that it was very fortunate for him that the jury had acquitted him of the felonious portion of the charge, and if they bad not done so he should Lave felt it his duty to sentence him to a long period of penal servi tude. The use of a deadly weapon of the description he had resorted to could not, however, be tolerated under any circumstances, and he felt it to be his duty to pass a substantial sentence of imprisonment, and be ghoul,' therefore order him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine months. William Wegrr,..l9,wascharged with feloniously wound. ingMary A. Elizabeth Walker, with intent to murder her. Biz.. Straight and Ur. Brickwood conducted the pro. secution. The prosecutrix in this case was the wife of the prisoner, and on the night of the 28th of May she went to bed about 12 o'clock and went to sleep. She was awoke soon afterwards, and found that she had received a severe wound in the neck, and her mouth was full of blood, and one of her eyes was also severely injured. The prisoner was in an upstairs room, and it appeared that on the alarm being given he came down stairs, and finding what had happened he said that she must have fallen out of bed, but this statement was entirely without foundation. The evidence went to show that the injury could not have been inflicted by any other person than the prisoner, and the prosecutrix stated that he had repeatedly threatened to do her some injury. The prosecutrix stated in the course of her evidence that the prisoner had been attacked with delirium tremens, and was conhned in • lunatic asylum for a month,and had only come out shortly before the act complained of was committed. She also said that the prisoner was under the impression that she had been unfaithful to him daring his absence: but she declared there was no foundation for such an opinion being enter tained by him. Mr. May, the medical gentleman who was called in to examine the preeecutrix, having described her condition, stated that when he was examined at the police -court be told the magistrate that he had signed a certificate for the removal of the prisoner to • lunatic asylum. Mr. Justice Wiles observed that it was remarkable that this fact did not appear upon the depositions. Mr. May further stated that he had no doubt that the prisoner was labouring under delusions with regard to his wife, and that he was suffering from • feeling of morbid jealousy as regarded her, and under the influence of that delusion he bad frequently threatened her with violence. He added, that it was in consequence of those threats and the general conduct of the prisoner that he signed the cer. tificate authorising his removal to a lunatic asylum. The condition of the prisoner was, however, no doubt to • con siderable extent caused by drink. The police constable who apprehended the prisoner said that he found him in bed, and asleep or pretending to be so. He told him what he was charged with, and he replied that he knew that he wanted him, but he bad not done anything, and he was Suite innocent. Mr. Justice Willes, in summing up, said that the ques tion that had arisen in the course of the case, as to whether the prisoner was in such a state of mind as to render him criminally responsible, came upon them quite by surprise, but they must endeavour to deal with it as well as they could. His lordship then proceeded to explain to the jury the law relating to the subject of insanity, and concluded by leaving the matter in their hands. The jury found the pri. , oner Guilty of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm while under the elle, of intoxication. Scntunce was deferred. (Before the Recorder.) Henry Dillon, ZI, letter-carrier, was indicted for felo niously stealing a gold watch, the property of her Ma jesty'a Postmaster. General, which ha4come into his pos. sea-ion by virtue of his employment as a letter•carrier. Mr. Metcalfe spin appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was attached to the district post-office in Commercial-road East, and occasionally assisted as charge clerk. On the 27th of January last a post-office parcel, ar containing a gold watch, value 151., was posted, and must have reached the district office on the following morning, and have passed through the prisoner's hands. It however never reached its desti nation, and for some time all trace of the property was lost. On the 3rd of May last, in consequence of in formation which reached the Post-office authorities, they caused the lodgings of the prisoner to be searched, and there the gold watch in question was found, and the pri soner declared it had been left him by his father, who had died in July last. This statement was proved to be utterly fake and unfounded. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and it was men tioned by Mr. Metcalfe that there was another indictment of a similar character spinet the prisoner which he did net think it necessary to proceed with. The prisoner Cox, the other letter-carrier, was then called up and placed alongside Dillon, both to receive the judgment of the court. The I:ecorder sentenced Cox to five years' penal servi tude, and Dillon to seven years' penal servitude. Mom. Manson, 20, tailor and Richard Nerille, 19, labourer, were indicted for ste aling a mail bag containing divers letters, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster- General. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. M. Williams defended the prisoners. From the opening statement of Mr. Metcalfe it appeared that in consequence of information having reached the Post-office authorities of a plan having been concocted to rob the m.til cart while receiving the letter bags at the district post-office in Stafford-row, Pimlico, a watch was set on Monday evening, the sth May, and the two pri soners, with a third man not in custody, were seen loitering about the district office, and Shannon was seen to go up and examine the cart while standing waiting for the bags at the door. Nothing, however, was done on that evening, but on the following Friday evening the prisoner and the other man were again seen loitering as before, and at last, while the driver was momentarily absent, Sh annon was seen to take from the cart one of the letter hags and walk away with it in company with the other prisoner and the third man. The prisoners were stopped by the officers in Great Chapel-street with the bag in their possession. The third man (who it was shown was the person who had given the information to the authorities) made his escape. These facts were clearly proved by Mr. Walter Clare, an inspector of letter carriers, and by Smee and Rumbolt, two of the constables attached to the Post-office. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both pri soners ; and former convictions having been proved against them by Mr. Agar, principal warder of the City Prison, Holloway, and by Mr. King, from Coldbath-fields, ' The Recorder sentenced them to be severally kept in penal servitude for the term of seven years. John Lockwood, 32, beershoplioper (remanded from last session) was indicted for forging and uttering two pro missory notes for the payment respectively of 201. and 101., with intent to defraud. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Poland prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Daly. This case occupied the court and jury a considerable time, and was peculiar from the nature of the defence which the prisoner attempted to set up. It appeared from the opening of the learned conned for the prosecution (who were instructed by Mr. Mullen', the solicitor to the London Bankers' Association), that on the 27th of March last the prisoner called upon Mr. Curtis, a butcher, carry ing on business in Great Trinity-lane, Cannon-street, City, and introducing himself as having been two years before the porter at a private boarding house in Queen street, Cheapside, reminded Mr. Curtis that he owed him two shillings, and wished to repay him, as well as to pur chase a joint of meat from him. The purchase was made, and the prisoner handed to Mr. Curtis a promissory note for 201., purporting to be that of the Reigate, Dorking, and Croydon Bank, and asked him to change it and repay himself. Mr. Curtis supposed the note to be genuine, and gave the prisoner the change, de ducting 10s., the amount due to him. He asked the pri soner his name, and requested him to write it at the back of the note, and he wrote "John Gordon, Park Farm, East Croydon," and stated that he wasafarmer, had an extensive stock of horses and cattle, and invited him to pay him a visit. In a few days after Mr. Curtis paid the note into his banker's, for presentation at the London agents of the Reigate, Dorking, and Croydon Bank, when it was returned to him, with the statement that the bank from which it had issued had stopyed pay ment some years ago. It was also stated that though the form of the note was from the genuine plate of the defunct bank, the signatures to it were all forgeries. On the same day the prisoner obtained change for a 101. note, purport ing to be issued by the same bank, from Mr. Bryant, the proprietor of the Swan Tavern, Great Dover-street, Borough, in payment for a gallon of gin, and this was also a forgery. Information having been given to the Bankers' Association, Detective-officer Scott, of the City wilco, was selected to find the prisoner ; and after visiting Park-farm, Croydon, ascertained that it bad never been occupied by any person of the name of Gordon, and no such person was known in the locality. By dint of great exertion and considerable activity the prisoner was ultimately taken into custody at the Alhambra, Leicester-square, when he repeated that he had received the notes from Farmer Gordon, of Park-farm, East Croy don, who frequented his beershop, the Prince of Wales, Church-street, Borough, and who had asked him to get change for the notes for him. The prisoner was, however, committed for trial, and after his committal a person named Priestley was taken into custody (at the instance, it was alleged, of some of the connexions of the prisoner), on • charge of stealing a truck, and a habeas corpus having been procured the prisoner was brought up as • witness in the case at the Southwark Police-court, and there swore that Priestley was the John Gordon from whom be received the two promissory notes; the prisoner also swore that he had only known the man Priestley about eight inonths,and only under the name of Gordon. Priestley was discharged by the magistrate at the police-court and was now called as a witness in this case, when be swore that he had never passed by any other name than Priestley, and under that name bad been acquainted with the prisoner fot three or four years, and had been a daily visitor, playing skittle" at the hoer shops kept by the prisoner. This evidence was corroborated by Robert Pether and John Marsh, two con stables of the division of the metropolitan police, to whom both the prisoner and the witness Priestley were well known. Mr. Daly made an able and ingenious address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and— The Recorder having summed up the whole of the evidence with extreme care and minuteness, the jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. At the request of the prisoner Police-sergeant Wilde'', of the City force, was called, and proved that the prisoner had served as a soldier in the same regiment as himself, hut he (witness) had been di charged twelve years ago,and had only seen the prisoner occasionally since. Mr. Sleigh called Mr. Br.uman, ex-inspector of the Metropolitan force, and now chief officer employed by the Mint authorities, who gave the prisoner a very indifferent character. The Recorder said that the circumstances which had been proved in the course of the trial rendered it unneces sary to go back to any circumstances anterior to those which bad been proved in this case, which presented fea tures of the greatest possible aggravation. The prisoner had not only been guilty of uttering these forged notes, but had been guilty of the still greater wickedness of endeavouring to fix the charge on an innocent person in order to screen himself. The sentence upon the prisoner was that he be kept in penal servitude for the term of 15 Joseph With, , 21, labourer, was convicted of a burglary in the dwelling;-house of Isaac Barnett, a jeweller, re- siding and carrying on his business in the Tkownhani-road, Kingsland, and also with assaulting Johanna WCarthy while in the said dwelling-house. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Straight defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of Jan. 15 the prisoner WAS discovered by Johanna M'CartbT in the bedroom of her master, and that on her attempting to grasp him he struck her • severe blow on the head with some heavy instru ment, which caused the blood to flow so copiously that her dress was perfectly saturated. He made his escape, but wee taken into custody on the charge of being found in the City with house-breaking implements in his possession, and was then fully identified by the servant, Johanna M'Carthy, at the Mansion-house, where the Lord Mayor refused to entertain this cue, but convicted the prisoner's a rogue and vagabond, and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment at Holloway, and he was taken into custody on this charge on his coming out of that prison. The jury found the prisoner Guilts, and several previous convictions having been proved against him by Warder Agar and other officers, be wee sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. Just before the rising of the court the grand jury brought up the last of their bill., amongst which was an indict ment for perjury preferred by Mr. Thomas Cannon, of Paternoster-row, against Mr. Albert Henry Elwortby, attorney, of Southampton-buildings. The Recorder discharged the grand jury, thanking them for the assistance they had afforded in the administration of public justice. (Before the Common Serjeant.) - • George Richard Martin 732, a well-dressed man, described as • painter, pleaded guilty to five indictments charging him with stealing a large . quantity of jewellery and other valuable prope rty belonging to different Weat-end trades men. The prisoner was also charged with having been previously convicted of felony, but to this portion of the charge he pleaded not guilty. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Green were instructed to prose cute; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Sleigh. In order to prove the previous conviction, Mr. Merton, • tradesman in the Ilurlington-arcade, was called as • witness, and he stated that in the year 11445 he prosecuted a person named George Richard Martin for fraudulently obtaining property from him, and he was convicted of that offence, and sentenced to six months' impriaonment. He rend an account of the examination of the prisoner in the nee spalwrs, and went in consequence to the police court, where he at once identified the prisoner as the man be had pie-. cut,' twenty-two years ago. Mr. Sleigh urged that there must be some mistake on the part of the witness, and that it was intible the sa r i. goner could be the man who was oonvkW in 1845, a n it appeared by the calendar that ho was now only 32 years of age. The jury said they were not satisfied that the prisoner wan the same man who was convicted in 1845, and they therefore acquitted him of that portion of the charge. Mr. Metcalfe then stated that the prisoner had been for many years carrying on an extraordinary syst em of swindling, and he had plundered many of the ppri n . cipal jewellers and other tradesmen at the Nest -end of the town to an enormous amount. The plan he adopted was to take apartments communicating, having an internal and an external door, and to order valuable property to be sent for an invalid si s ter or brother to look at, and vine obtained possession of the property, he went into the a joining room for the pretended purpose, and then de. camped, leaving the tradesman waiting in vain for his re. turn. In this way he obtained possession in one instance of jewellery to the amomnt of 4001., and upon another occasion he very nearly obtained *tray o f rings worth 2,00 W. The person who had been se n t with the property, however , fortunately observed som e . thing in the conduct or appearance of the prisoner which excited his attention and suspicion, and he Moped*. prisoner as he was about to leave the room, only enabled to regain possession of the property after sharp scuffle. The prisoner had, however, succeeded in plundering different tradesmen of property to the moan of 1,000/. . . . . The Common Serjeant said that the prisoner had pleaded guilty to free indictments charging him with different robberies, and probably if the jury had been aware of the facts that bad now been proved, they would have formed a different opinion with reference to the charge of his haring been previously convicted. He considered it perfectly useless to make any observations to such a person as he evidently was, and he should merely order him to be kept in penal servitude for ten years. THE POLICE COURT& LAMBETH. A girl of respectable appearance, Miring the name of Poesy Allen, 16 years of age, and lodging at a cuffeehome in Swan-street, Borough, was charged as follows : Police-constable P said be was on duty in the Wal. worth-road, between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, when be was Informed by several gentlemen that the prisoner had accosted them for an improper pupae.

He then took her into custody. Magistrate—Where do you coma from! Pri;oner—Birminsham: - Magistrate—How long have you been leading this wick e d life, and who are your friends .
