IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. noun OF COMMONS.-WZMNLIDAY, JOLT 16. (Cootiomd from yeitaclay's Erpress.) NIGHT POACHINO PREVENTION BILL air J. PAERIGTON was not as advocate far the preservation of pore to an extreme extent ; be thought at was • most yawns mode of dealing with landed property • but if a landowner chose so to deal with his property, that was a question between him and his tenants. It was perfectly monstrous to contend that a landed proprietor was to be at the mercy of every marauder in England. He was not for dealing with this evil in aa extreme manner, but it less an evil that re quired correction, and believing that this bill would effect that object. he should vote for the second reading. Sir G. GREY said it was highly inconvenient that the right hon. barooet (Sir J. Palangtoo) ghoul I come down to the boon. after • bill had been under discussion for three hours, sod answer supposed arguments which ha had not heard. He thought the hon. baronet bad shown great courage in introducing this bill; fur a bill containing greater violations of every principle of law b never saw. The right hon. baronet (Sir J. Pskingten) said it was easy to remedy the fundamental defects of the bill ; bat the preamble set out by stating that to be the law which was not the law. Re believed that a dealer who bought game which had been netted would come under the operation of this bill. This showed haste and want of consideration in drawing the bill He protested against the exaggerated statements that had been made on thin subject. Twenty-eight chief constables bad signed • memorial. in which they stated that mra derous attacks had become common, but in two years and a half only four had been committed in one county, two in another, and in Worcestershire there had been five. The present law was of a very stringent character, and be was at • loss to nodaetand hew it was that the police of Worces tershire, if they knew persons who were regularly engaged in night poaching, could not put the law in force. Mr. BASS supported the bill. In hie neighbourhood night poaching had much increased, and he found that re cently, in two neighbouring counties, Nottingham and Leicester, there had been murderous assaults by poachers. He did Dot think that any gentleman wood stand up in the house and env this was not a growing evil. The right boo. baronet said this bill violated every principle of law ; but sandy it was • great opprobrium of the law that if a man went to his house and stole • rabbit•skin he was liable to be treated as • felon, but if he went into his park and Mole half-a-down bares he might when he got outside sit down and smoke his pipe without fear of being molested, and if ho were asked where he got the hares he would give a racy !tower. . . . . Mr. CAIRO asked hon. gentlemen opposite, who were the • • faresete friends," if they had consulted the farmers with remit to this bill? He thought it most unobiection• able to give power to the police to stop persons having game, on the highway. Sir B. LEIGHTON said be was sorry that the Secretary of State did not propose a select committee a little earlier. The right boo. gentleman had strongly olleeted to some of the details of the bill, but he had not said a word against the principle. The powers proposed to be given to the police were not greater than these given by the Metropo- litan Police Bill, and not stronger than were given in re- fereuce to the preservation of salmon. Mr. BARROW said be agreed with those who thought that night peachier( had increased, was increasing, and Ought to be diminished; but he denied that this bill wouklhave the effect of diminialdeg it. It was said that this bill involved the rights of property ; but it involved the liberty of the poor. (Cries of "Oh.") A man wan liable to be taken into custody and kept all night and then remanded till the petty sessions for an offence which was only punishable with a fine, and there was nothing in the bill giving the power of bail. Ile thought theta constable should not hove the power of apprebowling a man on vague suspicion. (Loud cries of "Divide.") . . . . . 34.41TiNflAND said the statement of the Secretary d Stab that this bill violated every priociple of I.iw surprised him, for • bill brought in by the right bon. baronet himself is reference to deer on usiendosed lands was much more severe. The right hoa member for Oxfordshire, he con sidered, luul twisted the returns in order to suit his argu ment. 'The old-fashioned style of poacher—the labourer overworked, underpaid, and underfed—had died out, mid the present elms of poachers were mom the lowest ruffians to be found in cake and towns. This wee one of the great social evils of the day, and it would be a scandal upon the house if it did not seriously attempt to deal with it before the close of the session. NEWDEGATE, who rose amidst loud cries of "divide," said be thought they bad all arrived at the con clusion that the provisions of the bill in reference to the capture of persons were such as could not receive the support oven of the promoters of the bill. The measure was too stringent, aud, in his opinion, the only effective !ablation would be that which ren dered penmen account ab le for the pommies of instruments for poaching, and of game illegally obtained. He should be sorry to see legislation go beyond that point at present ; but if after what had occurred the house del not read the bill • second time. it might be supposed to have given a direct eucotrogement to these poachers. As had jest been stated, the character of the poacher had changed • he had now become the agent of the dealer, and this trade was encou raged by the conduct of game preservers themselves. Though be did not approve of the provisions of the bill, he loped, for the reason he had given, that it would be read a second time. The evil was increasing and asesumieg such a shape that no one would be able to pre serve any game unlearn he could maintain an army for its protection. (Hear, hear.) If, however, they auc tioned snob a unaware se he had suggested, it would pre serve to the tenant-farmer and the small proprietor some small quantity of game ; but he should be sorry to see any enactment which a:add acourage to an exaggerated extent the preservation of game. (Hear, hear.) Mr. V. SCULLY, on rising, was greeted with laughter and loud cries of "Oh, oh." He said the strongest argu ment he had beard in favour of the bill was that of clamour, but the house had better bear him, as otherwise be should be obliged to detain it until six o'clook. (laughter.) He could not give his support to the bill, but lie would "pair off "if the promoters would strike out from it the wad "Ireland." It was worse than any of the Irish coercion bills which had been introduced this sermon. He looked upon it am a monstrous bill, which ought to be thrown out at once, and although he did not often go with the government. he trusted that they would go with him on the prevent occamos in giving it his oppo sition.

As Mr. Parkes, of the parliamentary agency firm of Dyson, Hall, Parkes, Coates, and Shruheole, was nuking his way through a crowd of crinoline into one of the committee mans be was relieved of a valuable watch ; ands foreign gentleman in soother part of the corridor also become su dd enly sensible of the escape at his chronometer. These robberies until recently occurred in the Commons. but the light-fingered fraternity were effectually scared away by the presence of vigilant detectives of the A Divi sion in prirate clothes, and it is probstbly owing to their atomics in the Lords that the robberies of yesterday are to be attributed. The omission, however, it may be men tioned, wee supplied during the day by Superintendent Doran, of the A corps of the Conimons. suitcase OF PAUPEltlaM.—Frotn the periodical return kneed yesterday moron% it appears that on the Ist of .; miner/ last the somber of paupers in receipt of relief in England was 945,268, being an increase of 53,401, or 6 per met.. es compared with the corresponding period of 7861.

A meat many respectable witnesses were celled to speak to the defendant'. character, and they all described him to be a man of the highest honour and integrity. Banc Bramwell, in slimming up, said it was very im portant that affidavits of this kind should be correct, and he could not =north* to the doctrine that a man did sot com mit perjury because be neatened to be unacquainted with the contents of the instrument to the truth of which he was sworn. The jury would, however, take all the circum stancsa of the case into their consideration, and if they had any doubt, the high character the defendant had received ought certainly to have considerable weight. The jury, after deliberating a short time, returned a ver dict of .Not Simon Child, a little urchin, stated in the calendar to be eleven years old, was charged with feloniously placing stones upon the London and North Western Railway, with intent to obstruct the engine. and carriages passing along the line, and to endanger the safety of the passengers. Mr. Clerk prosecuted ; and the prisoner was defended by Yr. Codd. It appeared that on the evening of May 27 the down train to St. Albans, upon coming near Watford, RD over two stones that were placedupon the rails, and the driver aivinginforma. Sion of thecircumstance upon arriviugat the Watford station, the signal man at the spot was directed to keep a strict watch. He did so, and on the following day the prisoner and two other boys were seen to go upon the line, and the prisoner was observed to stoop and place something upon the rails, and it turned out that two stones were placed there. It also appeared that at the time the engine ran over the stones on the previous evening, a search was made, and it was discovered that steam of a similar kind bad been placed upon both the up lines of rails. When the prisoner was apprehended, it appeared that he denied having placed the stones upon the rails, and said that one of the other boys had done it. Mr. Codd made an earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and, while admitting that the act imputed to him was one very likely to be attended with the moat serious consequences, and which merited severe punishment when it wag clearly established. be submitted that, in the first plane, it had not been proved beyond doubt that the prisoner placed the stoma upon the railway ; and secondly, that supposing the jury should consider that this fact was proved , there was nothing to show that he did so with any of the intents charged in the indictment. He then milled the attention of the jury to the law regarding offences com mitted by persons of tender age, end said that in the case of those under 14 years of age they were not responsible for an offence of this description or any other, unless it was shown that they were aware of the probable consequences of their acts, and were at the saes time actuated by a malicious intention to do mischief, Baron Bramwell, in Ins summing up, said he did not think there could be any doubt that the prisoner I did place the stones upon the railway ; but the next important question to consider w•s, with what intent the prisoner had so placed them. In the case of a grown-up person the law considered him responsible for the probable oonsequences of his acts, but this was not so in the case of • child under fourteen years of age. In the present cue, therefore, if they should be of opinion that the prisoner was merely actuated by • feeling of mischief, or to see the effect of • train going over the stones, that would not be sufficient, and it was absolutely necessary that they should be satiated that he eras actuated by one of the inten4 im puted by the indictment before they could convict him. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of Not °nifty. Baron Bramwell told the prisoner that, although he had escaped upon the present charge, he was still liable to be ed against under another section of the act of par liament.ed He might have caused serious mischief and loss of life or broken limbs by his act, and he hoped that he would be punished. The criminal business was brought to animas in the after noon, and both courts will be engaged to-day in trying MUNN. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—AYLERBURY, JULY 16. The commission for this county was opened yesterday by Mr. Justice Wightrian, and business commenced this scorning berore the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn in the crown court, and Mr. Justice Wightman on the civil side. The criminal hat includes only eight prisoners—one for ananalaogliter, arising from the railway accident at Wol verton is February last; three for burglary ; one, a child, for anon • and three man of false pretences agaitts;: one per son. 'On the civil side, six causes are entered, the majority of which, including two special juries, relate to disputed rights of way and enclosure of waste lands. In this court so much of the day was occupied by trying a case of dis puted account, about some eight pounds, that no case of importance has been concluded. LR.IOK.

Thomas Pork* Leith, aged 27, described in the calendar as a farmer, was indicted for horse stealing. at Timsbury, on the gal June. The prisoner was a very tall, fine fellow, upwards of 6 feet in height, end he had held a commission in the army, his friends being people tu good position. He had been sent to a Mr. Symea, at Timsbury, as an agricul tural pupil, and had stayed there only ten ds, when he took without leave a horse out of the stable, s addled it, and went off, and was not heard of for three days, when he wee apprehended by the police at Sherborne, in Dorset. When the pollee took him he had 41. 12s. on his person, said he had not stolen the horse, and was going to Exeter, merely fora lark. It was afterwards explained that on the night in question be was drinking at a public-house until after eleven o'clock, and then went to the stables of his master or tutor and got the hone. At that late hour he visited a gentleman named Peuruddooke, residing at Compton-park, and finding that he had stayed out longer than he intended, be thought he would have a further ride aid see the country. The judge sent the case to the jury, who dequitt< d the prisoner • but his lordship gave hint this caution — that similar co nduct on the part of one in a lower grade of life, and proved in evidence, bad often led to a conviction ; and he hoped the prisoner in future would take care to get permission before he took a horse out of his stable and rode off with it. lie was then discharged. THE POLICE COURTS. SOUTHWARK. Ellen Simnel', an old swarthy woman, was charged with obtaining 2s. and a cap front from Lizsy Si arrow under falseand fraudulent meteores. The prosecutrix, • married woman, said she kept a bonnet shop at 131, Bermondsey-street. On Saturday last the pri soner came in and asked her to buy a stay lace. She bought one, widths prisoner, after lingering about the door, at last asked to look at her hand. Witness showed he; hand, and then prisoner asked for sixpence, saying that she had good fortune in store, and she would tell her all about it. She gave her the al:pence, when the prisoner told her her husband would die by accident, and that she would marry another man, and have several children, and be rich. Mr. Combo asked her if she had any children by her husband! Witness said she had two. After she gave the prisoner the sixpence she wanted another, as she could then tell what sort of a man her future husband would be. Witness gave her another sixpence, and prisoner told her be would be • dark man sad a prosperous man. Mr. Combs inquired whether she was sot contented with her present husband! Witness replied that she wax hut still she thought the should like to hear what the prisoner saiiL After that the prisoner pulled out a pack of cards and shuffled them, and witness picked one out, when she was told that she would have four children by her next husband. Mr. Combo here expremed his surprise that any woman of her age should be so foolish as to be imposed upon by an old ignorant hag like the prisoner. She ought to have turned her out of the shop there and then, or given her into the custody of a constable. ..-- Witnew replied that the primmer woald not leave the shop, but told her that she wanted another shilling to con sult the planets for her, se she bad no doubt that she bad a lucky star. Witaess gave her a shilling as requested, aed then the prisoner pointed to a cep front, and said she roust have that to wind up her nativity. She gave her the front, nod thee the prisoner left the shop. Mr. Combo asked her if she bad any desire then to lose her husband? . . . . . Witness replied that she had not, and she was so frightened that she was glad to get rid of the prisoner, thinking that she should never se* her again. However, on Tuesdiv afternoon she was surprised to see the prisoner walk into the shop, and in the cooleet manner demand 4s. NS re to complete her horoscope. Witness told her she had so more money. and recreated her to leave the shop, when the prisoner tuned round sod said she knew she had money, and money she must have before she left. Witness then sent for a constable, and gave her into custody. The prisoner here said that the laty told her to come on Tuesdsy. Mr. Comb* asked her what she had to say about telling the lady her fortune She replied that she never told fortunes. How could a poor ignorant old croons like her do such a thing ?

Yesterday afternoon another serious outbreak of the Fleet Sewer, and inundation of the works of the Metropolitan Railway, took place consequent on the heavy storms with which the metropolis was visited. Between 4 and 5 o'clock, as the workmen employed at the new station being erected at King's-cross and the uncompleted portion of the tunnel at the corner of Acton-street, Bagnigge Wells-rood, were busy at their labours, the► were alarmed by a sudden rush of water into the works. A warning cry was instantly raised, sod the men made their escape in all directions. So rapid, however, was the info of the water, that those at the bottom of the works were up to their knees before they could extricate themselves, and were obliged to leave a portion of their clothow and their tools behind them. In less titan tea minutes the water rose to • height of 15 feet, displacing and cracking the tinge timber shores like matchwood. The cellars and balenieute of the houses at Battle-bridge were speedily over flowed, and the utmost alarm prevailed. Upon inquiry into the cause of this irruption of the water, it was found that the storm water pouring ben from the high level had broken through the wall of the diverting sewer at the corner of Caledonia-street, York-road, and fir ling its way into the channel of the old sewer, bad thence made its way into the railway works. In about en hour, the flow of the storm water bevies subsided, a body of labourers was set to work to repair the breakage, which it is hoped will be effected by an early hour this morning. In the meantime the railway vertu at this portion of the line are oeceesarily suspended. While this =MO WAS taking place at King's cross one of • still more exciting description we■ taking place in Victoria-street, at the scene of the late acci dent. The water in the temporary trench or grip lately made there, 18 feet in depth, was pouring down in great force, filling the trench to the top, and it became evident that its powers of endurance would Le severely taxed. About 5 o'clock, the water came down io full force, tearing away in its Waage the stout side plauking and wooden floor ing of the trench in all directions, and carrying them into the main channel, through which they fouud their way into the Thanes. At the mouth of the sewer, situate at the side of the steps of Blackiriars-bridge, several boatloads of this planking were picked up as salvage by seve ral boatmen. At one time appearances were so threatening that it -vas deemed necessary to open one of the dams sod relieve the overcharged trench by allowing the water to flow for • time into the railway cutting. In about an hour, the water having subsided, the extent of damage was seen, and several hundred men were set to work to replace the broken timbers, aod the steam pumping-engines were once more brought into operation to clear the railway tunnel. The amount of damage done is estimated at 1,0001., indepeodent of the cost of repairs. MURDER or • CHILD BY rrs Nussa.—A n inquest was held on Saturday afternoon, before Mr. Sharpley. coro ner, at the Jolly Sailor's ion, Louth. in Lincolnshire, on the body of Kate Mary, infant daughter of Mr. Edwin Taylor, farmer, of Alvingbam. On Thursday last, the 10th instant, on Mr. soil Mrs. Taylor retiring to their bedroom for the night, the child wee left for a short time in the care of the girl now suspected of poleosiog it—Elisabeth Vara plew—wben it commenced crying. Mrs. Taylor went down stairs and took it up to her chamber, when it shrieked fear fully, and was in awful agony until one o'clock on Friday morning, when it ceased crying, and died in half-an-hoar. Having some suspicion that sourethiog was wrong, Mr. Taylor brought the girl in bin gig to Louth, and on the way she stated that she had poisoned the child with white mer cury, which she bed got from home, unknown to bar mother.

This was an appeal motion from an order at Vicie-Clan. cellar Wood, restrainin the defendants from taking • part at the plaintiff's manufactory and premises except on the terms of taking the whole. The plaintiff described himself as • contractor for the removal of dust sad rubbish, which was prepared by him rot briokmaking and also foragrictiltural He carried on has business at the Grove, South wart, premises including a dwelling-house, engine house, " tot-shop," or sorting room, slop shoot, and an ex tensive yard occupied by dart and manure heaps, which were subjected to various successive processes before being reedited available. The dsfeedanta had served the plain tiff with Dodos of their requiring • small portion of the premises for the of the Covent-garden approach and SouthwarkWestminster Communication Act, 1857. by which a new street from the Blackfriars-road to High. Amt. Borough, was sae of the works required to be made. The plaintiff refired to sell the portion required by the defendants, on the ground that the whole of the premises in his occupation and used by him for his business con stituted "a manufactory" within section 92 of the Lands Clauses Act, and claimed the right under that section of eompelling the defendants to take the whole taty if they required any part of it. It wet coateuded the plaintiff that the "tot shop "or sorting shop nes a bsolutely essential to the carrying on of the plaintiff's basilicas, the most important process of sifting sod sorting being carried on. The question was whether this part of the premises mule within the meaning of the word " manufainory." The Vice-Chancellor held that it did, and made order for an injunction to restrain the defendants from GalrWg any stein for acquiring the premises except on the terms of taking the whole. Hence the present appeal. Mr. Bolt, Mr. Willoock, and Mr. C. Hall appeared for the defendants the appellants; Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Gifford, and Mr. E. Bury for the plaintiff. The Lord Chancellor in giving judgment said he could not agree with the opinion exprossed by the Vice-Chancellor, that the business carried on by the plaintiff constituted him • manufacturer within the meaning of the Lands ,Clauses Consolidation Act, and therefore the "tot shop" could not be part of a "manufactory," the taking of which by the de fendants would reader them liable to take the dholirof the ' plaintiff's premises. The plaintiff was • dustman, Con tractor, and scavenger, and the use of the "tot shop" was incident to that business. The order of the wart below most be reversed, and the injunction dissolved. (Before Vied-Chancellor Sir W. Psis Wood.) THONAJI V. JONES. In this case a point arose of some professional interest, viz., whether the will of a married woman was within the Wills Act in such • manner as to pass after acquired pro- perty. A Mrs. Davis in this case, being under coverture, made her will devising certain real estate by name which she had power, and also "all other realty over which she had any power to appoint" to certain persons. After the date of the will Mn. Davis became the dame of • power of appointing other real estate, and the question was whe ther this passed under the genets! devise specified above. Had it been the cam of • man or an unmarried woman there was no doubt but that the power would operate by reason of the recent Wills Act; but there being a section in that act enacting that • married woman should have no further capacity to makes will than she had before the act, it was doubted whether the other clauses of the statute applied to this ease. Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Hoblionse. and Mr. Williams were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Giffard and Mr. W. Yeation were on the other side. The Vice-Chancellor said that when a married woman made a will capable of operating, then the provisions of the Astute were drawn down to it, and it took effect as the will of any other person. Consequently this will operated to pass the property within the power which mine to Mu. Davis after she executed that document, and the plaintiffs who opposed this motion consequently failed. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JOLT 16. (Beton the Judge Ordinary.) ZYCHLINIIII V. ZYCHLINSKI. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Dr. Spinka were for the patf tioner Sir F. Slade, Q.C., and Dr. Sw.they for the respon dent. -- The petitioner was the daughter of an unbeneficed clergy man named Maltby who bad long lived apart from his wife, who bad for some years resided abroad with her two daugh ters. In the early part of 1860 she made the soguaietance at Rome of Louis Szeglio von Zychlinski, who represented himself to be a Buie= Baron and a captain in the Imperial Guard of the Emperor, but who was maid to have in reality been • Prussian private soldier and a deserter living on his wits. He proposed to Miss Adeline Kate Maltby, then a girl of 16, and he afterwards married her at Use Roman catholic church, at Dover, in September, 1860. After the marriage they went to liyhes, in the south of France , with Mrs. Maltby and her other daughter. There, it was alleged, the respondent's conduct because very harsh and cruel He several times violently shook his wife, and he threw • brash at her with such force that it struck against the wall and broke to pieces. He often threatened to shoot her, and on one occasion he said be would throw her down a pre cipice into the sea. Her health became very much impaired by his constant violence. In February, 1861, she wrote to her father, who being too ill to go to /Veins sent his wife's cousin, Captain Lowe, who brought petitioner back to England on the 22nd of Fe bruary last. The respondent followed her in • fortnight afterwards and attempted to regain possession of his wife by means of a writ of habeas corpus. The Rev. Mr. Maltby then had him arrested on a charge of obtaining • sum of 4001. from him under the false pretence that be had ad vanced it to Mrs. Maltby. The charge was heard by the magistrates and dismissed. Zychlinaki in his turn commenced an action against his father-in-law for false imprisonment, but that suit was lately withdrawn. The petitioner bad been delivered of a child on the 9th of Au gust last. After the proceedings at Nottingham the respondent took lodgings in that town, to which lie brought • person whom he represented to be his cousin, and whom he called the Countess Borjenovaka. He said she was • married lady. Immediately after her arrival she east for • dressmaker and had a number of dresses altered. These dresses turned out to be those of the petitioner, who was much taller mind slighter than the countess. She had one or two articles marked "M. 8.," which were conjectured to have really been her owe. The trounces had a sepmate room ; but the landlady observed the impression of two parsons in her (the countess's) bed. She also found • portioc of a liaised poultice which the Baron had had on for • sore throat. The countess left behind her an old pair of shoes which were marked " Maltby," and which were prods:admit iden tified as the petitioner's. The landlady's daughter moreover stated that she had heard the respondent go into the room of the countess. _ _ Mrs. Zychliuski, in her cross-examination, stated that Zychlinski had been • great friend of her family before her marriage. Her mother was • convert to the Homan catholic church, and bad also converted her two daughters. Being tillable to leave Rome with the money she had borrowed, 1,000 scudi (220/.) from Cardinal Autooelli, and fearing that her husband would not repay the Canfield, she had allowed Zychlinski to pretend that he had lent her the money. They then went to P•rie, where Miss Maltby had to sell her jewel'. Zychlinaki represeuted to Mr. Maltby that Le had lent her 4001., which the reverend gentleman repaid. The family had after the marriage lived on that 4001., and on MO/. which her father had given her to buy her trousseau. Sir F. Slade admitted the adultery, but he strenuously denied the cruelty, ,pod contended that the real objec: of the suit was to get 118 of a husband who bad deluded the young lady into a match which was not of the character her friends bad supposed. Sir C. Crewmen having summed up, The jury found a verdict for the tvtfe. Decree nisi with costs, the petitioner to have the custody of her child. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT..--HERTFORD, JULY 16. tßefore Mr. Baron Bramwell.) George Farr Arnold surrendered to lei* his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. G. Denman, Q.C., was specially retained, with Mr. Willoughby, to conduct the prosecution; Serjeant Parry, also specially retained, cad Mr. Woullett appeared for the defendant. This case stood over from the spring assizes, and it created some interest, not only from the nature of the charm which was rather a peculiar one, but from the position of the defendant, who carrion on an exteuaive business as a builder, at fit. Album, sod who is one of the town coun cillors. The surged perjury was ;contained in what is called, in legal parlance, an affidavit of increase, an instru ment which it is necessary to execute, in order that the successful party in an action at law may re cover his costs from his opponent. It appeared that last year • person named Procter, who was the prosecutor of the preeeut indictment, brought an action against the defendant in the Queen's Bench, and upon the trial the latter obtained a verdict, and iu due course the defendant sought to obtain his costs, and he made the affidavit in question before Mr. Annesley, the commissioner appointed for that purpose, at Bt. Albans. The total amount of the bill of costs was 381. 16a, and among the items the de fendant alleged that be had paid 15.. to three witnesses, earned Padkins. Bean, and Wright. and Va. to two other witnesses, and also a sum of 31. Hs. for railway fares, cab. hire, and refreshment for the same witnesses, whereas it turned out that at the time the affidavit was made be had only given them a few shillings. It appeared, however, that the affidavit was a joint oue by the defendant himself and his solicitor, and Mr. Anneeley stated that at the time he swore to it the defendant did not read the contents, sod that he midis's", it was signed by his solicitor, and he supposed it was all right. It also appeared that the sum mistimed ha the affidavit were subsequestly paid to the several witness& =taut Parry made s very able address to the jury is of the defendant, sod be urged that, although he might have acted carelessly is sweetie. to the allidavit without read* it, Will this was all that NW Is Lily Mr. Combs, after again expressing his surprise at the foolish conduct of the prosecatrix, said that he had no doubt the prisoner wee one of those who prowled about, looking after ignorant poisons. lie sentenced her to two mouths' hard labour. The prisoner on hawing the dock, thanked his worship foe hie leniency. THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN GLASGOW. As the result of many inquiries, Captain idTall proceeded on Monday afternoon to the Southeide station of the Caledonian Railway, and there discovered that a small leather trunk or box bad been brought to that entice about four o'clock on the afternoon of the Saturday on which it is believed the murder was committed, by • liffil• • girl who tendered the name and address of Mrs. Mlathlan, 182, Broomielaw-street (the female prisoner's name and address) as the person who wished it ilmpatelied by the railway to Hamilton. 'The box was addressed, " Mrs. Beth. Hamilton —to lie until called for." The box was accordingly sent one ; and hems Mr. M'Call proceeded to Hamilton Math( ooday by the 4.15 p.m. main in march of this box, which, it is supposed, contained some of the deceased's miring clothing. On hie arrival there it wee found teat the box bad duly arrived at Hamilton station, where it had remained till the Monday or Tuesday following. It seems that no one of these days • little boy applied at the station to know whether there was such • box there, remarking that he had been sent by • lady who was standing outside to make the inquiry. He was answered iu the affirmative, and then went away, re turning soon after with the lady, who is known to have been the prisoner, Mrs. 11•Lachlan. She signed the delivery book "Max. M•lachlan," in the usual way ; and then got away the box, which the boy envied into the town. On his arrival fo Hamilton Captain M Call commmunicated with Mr. M'Kay, chief constable of Lanarkshire, and Superintendent Dewar, also of the county constabulary, who entered cordially into the matter, and at once a thorough search wee made to try to discover the boy who had been the messenger, or the box or its contents. Diligent inquiries were made until after mid night, but neither boy nor box could anywhere be met with. Next morning, however, the investigatin was proceeded with at an early hour, and by breakfast time the boy was discovered. He is about twelve years of age, the son of • carter residing in Almadaetreet, ands named James Chamels. He was one of the witnesses examined on Tuesday before the procuratorafiscal in the County Buildings, and we understand gave important evidence. It seems that the female prisoner, M•Lachlan. came to him in the street in Hamilton on Monday or Tuesday of last week, and asked him if he would carry • box for her. He at once readily agreed, as she promised him "something to himself," and he went to the railway station and brought away the box as above described. As she expensed a desire to get some refreshments, he took her to hie mother's hone, aloes with her box, where she had tea. In this house the mincer opened the box and took out some dresses, one of which answers the description, we understand, of one of those believed to have been stolen from Mr. Flemings house, and belonging to the deceased woman. These she tied up in • beadle, and after waiting • little told the boy to follow her with the empty box, she taking the bundle under her arm. After leaving Mrs. Chards' house, the prisoner told the buy she wanted to get the box mended, as one of the hinges was broken, and anted him who would mend it for her. The boy suggested that • joiner would be the proper party, but she replied that it would be better to take it to a saddler, as it was made of leather. The boy ac cordingly pointed out Mr. Cherry's shop, when she desired him to lean it to got the binge mended, and do my that it would be called for next week. Before she parted with the boy she inquired of him if he knew where one Shaw, • tailor, lived. After be had pointed out Union-street as the place, and she had given him his reward, he left her ; and she proneeded in that direction, and he maw no more of her. Whether she ever went there or not, or what has become o*ier bundle, is unknown. Shaw, who is • foreman tailor, and his wife deny having seen be- that day ; and although their house was searched none of the clothing was fouod. Our readers will remember that in the bedroom of the deceased, where she was found lying murdered, in the large pool of blood on the floor the distinct print of • human foot was found. Tbie having dried and hardened, the portion of flooring it covered way taken op and preserved. It was found to be the imprineof a very peculiar and neat foot, with • high instep, and did not at all answer to that of the deceased woman or the old man Fleming. With the view of discovering whether the prisoner M•Lachlan's foot could have made the mark on the door, on Tuesday an impreseion of her foot was taken in blood on a board by Dr. 0. H. B. M'Leod, and we are informed that it exactly corresponds. On Tuesday, the female prisons was brought down from the North Prison to the County Buildings, between ten and eleven o'clock, for further enunination and Identification by I witnemes.—Norn British Mail. MANSLAUGHTER UN BOARD A TROOP SHIP. The Rochester magistrates were engaged some time yestekta l y in the investigation of • charge of man slaughter erred spinet Andrew Lumaden, • private in the 92nd ighlanders, fur having canoed the death of Alex ander WC..11, • soldier belonging to the 714th Highlanden, in a quarrel which took place on hoard the troop ship Lau derdale, during the purge of that vowel from Kurrachee. The prosecution was instituted by direction of the authori ties at the War-office. John Mackenzie, a private in the 100th Regt, said the Lauderdale crowed the line for the first time on the after noon of the 16th Much. There was • great deal of "lark log " on board, and tte ceremony of " shaving " was going on. The prisoner came on deck about 4 o'clock to serve out the tea, and commenced "larking" with the other soldiers. Witness then told him he should he the next to be shaved, on which the prisoner walked away. Witness beard the deceased, who was intoxicated, say something to the pri soner which sounded like "6rize him," but he mild not say exactly what it was. The witness then went below, but on returning found the deceased against the bulwarks in a dying state, and all the larkibg stopped by order of the commanding officer. Edward Smith, 81st Regiment, said he was sitting on' the carpenter's bench when he saw the prisoner going aft with the bucket of tea for the men. The prisoner met the deceased, and they were both laughing together. Witness heard the deceased tell prisooer Mutt he would be the next to be shaved, on which the prisoner put down his bucket of tea and remarked, " Well, if I am, I will give you a slap on the month before lam shaved." The deceased turned round and la lied, when the prisoner struck him in the month with his fist. Deceased immediately fell down, striking his head against the bulwarks. The dammed asked prisoner what he did it for, but the prisoner never answered him, and walked away. After being taken below deceased almost immediately expired. After some further evidence the prisoner, who had de clined cross-examining the witnesses, said he bed nothing to say in his defence. He was then committed to take his trial at the next assize' ou the charge of manslaughter. RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIAMENT. Yesterday, on the manaembling of the committee on the Eastern Counties Amalgamation, counsel for the Eastern Union Company intimated that as they bad only received the proposed provisions relative to the alteration of the respective capital and stock from the Eastern Counties Company that morning, it was desirable that the question should be adjourned to this day to give time for fully consi dering the subject.
