THE CHARGE OP FRAUD AGAINST AN uPPICER IN THE GUARDS. Yesterday, Arthur BootleWilbraham, lately bold fag a ecomiarica is tbe Ccddetreem Guard., and residing at 46, Brookatmet, appeared at the Marlborougb.strett court before Mr. Tyrwhitt, tom:ewer a summons charging him with unlawfully, by means of ossiais false and fraudulent protease, obtaining from Mr. Charles Frederick iliusocok, 'swells,. of Bond-street, a pearl Deckleme sad other jewellery, value 1.1001„ with intent to defraud. Mr. H. Giffard, instructed by Mr. Edmund F. Davis, from the firm of Lawrence, Flews. and Beier. appeared for the promotion, and Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. Walters, of New-square, for the defe nc e. Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired if the complainant was present. Mr. Gifford—l appear for Mr. Hancock. l'U tell the roam at ones that this is my positioe. Lest night, in the absence of Mr. Hancock, Mrs. Hancock being at home. some person came to Mr. Hancock's howe sod paid the whole of the bill. I understand since that the jewels which were the subject of Mr. Emanuel's charge hove been tendered to him. lam therefore instructed by my client to withdraw the charge of fraud, and, if I on do so with propriety, to withdraw from the promentioe. Mr. Thrwhitt—Your experience in these things must be greater than mine. Ido not quite see how I can say you may withdraw in a case which has proceeded so far. Mr. Metcelfe—No doubt the money has been paid. Be fore these proceedings were taken the jewels were tendered to Mr. Hancock and to Mr. Emanuel. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Near mind that. Mr. Metcalfe—That, however, was the fact. Mr,Tyrwhitt—The cue put before me is whether Mr. Emanuel can be prevented from going to the cessions. I do not ue ',hid I hero to do with that. Mr. Metcalfe—Rad the opportunity offered. we should have been prepared with undoubted evidence to show that Mr. Wilbraham really intended to be married to a lady thought to possess considerable property. I believe this turns out to be incorrect, but certainly Mr. Wilbraham believed at the time that the lady was in a positien to pay for the jewels. Mr. Wilbraham wa s m i s l e d that way. No doubt he did raise money on t h e jewels, bet he intended to get the lady ultimately to pay for them. I hope, therefore. you will allow the preeseetiou to be withdrawn. I would beg to remind your worship that you expressed considerable doubt about the matter at the last examination, and but for the slight pressure exerted on the part of the prosecu tioe you would perhaps (not hays held the defendant to Mr. Tyrwhitt—l certainly had a strong feeling on the merits of the prosecution, and expressed myself openly on it. Perhaps I ought to have been more cautious in saying anything while proceedings were going on. I was afraid the strong feelings I entertained might induce me to over look any nice point of law that might be urged, and it wag because I had expressed an opinion that I was induced to send the case for triaL But I bare no power over the course of prosecution. The parties have entered into re. cognisances, and they are responsible for what is done farther. iii.idiflard—Tbey will withdraw. Mr. Metcalfe—We are in a position to prove that Mr. Wilbraham was really about to be married, and that the lady had considerable fßoPorty, at least so she represented her circumstances to Mr. Wilbraham. The jewels were deposited with Mr. Morris for a temporary purpose only, the best proof of which is that he has wave said for them. This is ►lso a strong proof that Mr. Wilbraham never in tended frual Mr. Tyrwhitt—Certainly bills fora larger amount were tams from time to time from the defendant Mr. Mak*lfe—l tenet, tluwefore, you will allow the pro secution to be withdraws. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l as do nothing, the quarter sessions will be able to determine the matter. Mr. Xetcalfe—You simply leave the matter where it is. Yr. Tyrwhitt—Yes, that is the cam. The wooed charge wee then withdrawn. THE PERILS OP RAILWAY SERVANTS. Last evening an inquiry was resumed by Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, reepeeting the death of Henry Gale, aged 3t; yeara, a number taker on the Great Eastern Railway, who was cut to pieces on the night of the :kith November.

A down train seme along, and witness called out to deceased, but be did not take notice. The down train engine struck him and knocked him against the ntationary engine, when be rebounded, and falling under the train was decapitated and otherwise cut to pieces. The spot where he was first struck was 6 feet 11 indite wide between the metals, and the place where he was pitched under the wheels was four feet wide. The engines each projected 18 inches beyond the metals. The down train came along at the rate of 15 Loam an hour. The whistle was sounded. By • Juror—Deceased bad his book in his band. He had to take the number of tke trucks end of the covering sheets, and their destination, and to look out for his life at the same tine. But he was a studious man, and apparently ' wee absorbed in thought. He could hare taken the num bers after the train had passed. Mr. W. Gale—Did you not hear him often say, " In the midst of life we are in death ; a clean truss of straw or the London Hospital?" Witueas said that deemed did not say those exact words, but he constantly " joked" in that kind of way. Straw was only used when • man woe put in a cart with his arm or leg broken.

"My life," said Its," is ampandad between heaven and earth.

Witness noticed that he was dressed badly, and said, " You must be paid handsomely for so deuteron') a affirm Deceased said, " I mare you I em very badly paid." He said it was diffi cult to get persons to do the badness well. Mr. Aahley—lf he thought it was dangerous be could have discharged himself in a week. Whims—Tea, but then was his family at borne to be thought of. He said that when at work be felt no fear, but that he went to it without foreboding. David lizard, recalled by Mr. Ashley, said that the wages were 11. per week for six &ye, but that for overtime—half the day on Sunday—la. Pd. extra was paid. Deceased had been three or four years in the employ of the company. The Comer having rammed up, The jury returned Lhe following special verdict :—" That the deceased came by Lis death by decapitation and other injuries through brims accidentally run over by an engine near the Great Eastern goods station ; and the jury consider that the sompany are to blame foe not providing against such accidents, a similar one limiter occurred twelve menthe ago at the sane spot." THE 3112K1F.H. AT SUNNINGHTLL-PAHlL—Teßter day, at Maidenhead, Frederick Croft alias William Smith, the tramp charged with the murder of Elizabeth Butler, at Sunoieghill.park Lodge, was again brought up on remand. It has transpired that on Monday last the woman seen with Croft by the different witnesses was in Windsor. It seems that lira Merick, the Scripture reader, took a return ticket at the Windsor station for Maideobead, and while walking about' the departure plat form waiting for the starting of the train at 11.5 a.m. po liced two women, who seemed anxious to avoid the gaze of the pueengers. Mrs. Myrick was going to Maidenhead for the purpose of giving her evidence against Croft, sod when the two women stepped into the carriage she tank her seat in the same compartment with them. The appear ance of one of these women ►ttracted the attention of Mrs. Ideyriek, who thee remembered that the female she was looking at was the very W4OllO whom she had non with the tramp. Presently two gentlemen seated in the same compartment commenced talking about the murder, when the two women evinced the greatest emotion—the young one bursting into tear, which, of MUSS, confirmed Mrs. Meyrick's conviction. The time occupied in running from Windsor to Slough is extremely short, and en the arrival of the passengers at the latter junction, the two women (roe of whom Mrs. Msyrick thinks was the sister el Croft, from the strong ressenUanos she bon to him) left the train and disappeared. Oa reaching Maidenhead the police were at ono* informed of tha circumstance, and Colonel Blandy gave instructions for a search to be made, and also put himself in communication with the Bucks county police. p to the preempt time, however, the police have not RlC cesdnd in apprehending the women, the time allowed by the remand, from Moods, till yesterday, leaving only one clear day for the action of the police. Yesterday all the witnesses were in court. but as no fresh evidence was produced, the chairman, after same little coesultatioe with his brother magistrates, considered that the testimony of the earn, witnesses previously examined was not sudioieot to entitle the bench to detain the prisoner any longer in custody, and he was accordingly at once discharged. The feeling, how ever, among the mob outside the court was so *trope that a little ruse had to be adopted by the polio*, in order that Croft might leave the neighbourhood of the county police station without being molested.

The bill in this suit was thee filed for the specific performance of the agreement, and two of the defendants demurred to it on the groan& above stated. Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. Fooks appeared for the de fendants, and argued that the contract was one which the court would not, and io fact could not, specifically en force ; for it wee too vague and uncertain in lila terms.

After Term Sittiap at NM Prins at Weatminstar.—(Before Lord Chief Judos Cooktnum and a Common Jary.) 110081 r. MORILI.S. This was an actiooorsiaaileraitrsaianlt. Mr. Bidder was counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Digby Sey mour, Q.C., was counsel for the defendant. This was an tulles of slander and assault, to which an undue importance was given in consequence of the defendant being a parish officer, and the " local parliament," as the vestry was described, having taken the matter up in a party spirit. The plaintiff and defendant are tradesman in Beth nal-green, the former being a tallow chandler, cheese and Letterman, having one shop in Bethnal-green road and ' another in White-street ; and the latter is a newmender, carrying on business in Bethnal-green-raid also, bolding the office of inspector of lamps, and having charge of the parish fire engine. The plaintiff's case was that on Saturday even ing, the 15th October, the defendant rushed into the shop in Bethnal-green-road, which was managed by the plaintiff's daughter, went behind the counter, and seized a quantity of halfpenny miscellanies, Family Heralds, and London .7aurria4, which he said had been stolen from him. The plaintiff was sent for, and when he cams he maw the defendant, who was very excited, seized him by the necktie, tore his collar, and nearly strangled him, and charged him with buying stolen property, encouraging young thieves, and that he could prove that waste pa , which the defendant claimed as hi% and had been purchwd just before by the daughter, had been that evening stolen from him. He was unable to re lease himself from the defendant's grip, and his daughter had to slap his face five or six times before he relinquished hie bold. Defendant afterwards went to the father s shop in Bethnal-grime-med, where be abused him, collected a crowd in freest of the shop, and charged him with knowingly purchasing stolen property. In cross-ex amination it appeared that most of the publications, which weighed over three pounds, and were pur chased for threepence halfpenny, were meat, and of the same date as the day on which they were purchased. The Lord Chief Justice, before the cline of the ease, said he considered it was one which might very well be disposed of by making it • drawn battle. The plaintiff's daughter had actedvsey indiscreetly in porches* them:thinner:en, and the defendant, who was probably excited, had said that which he did not recollect. If, therefore, be would say that if he had used the expressions attributed to him be had no in tention of charging the plaintiff with purchasing stolen pro perty, and being the eocourager of thieves, a juror might be withdrawn. The defendant's counsel was reedy to &c -oeds to it, but as the plaintiff's counsel appeared to construe it into an apology, the defendant declined to accede to the suggestion, on the ground that it might be misconstrued and used against him in the vestry. The defence was that defe nd ant was robbed of upwards of 200 of these periodicals, and amongst the lot he found at the shop there were two he oould positively sweet to. So far from rushing into the shop in the manner de. scribed, he poli tely asked the daughter if she bad purchased any periodica ls lately, and she replied. " Yea ; there they are, you eau go and look at them." He did not go behind the counter ; he examined them, and found they were all uncut, and they were worth to him at least be. or di. All he said was that they were his property, and he must have them. The defendant denied most positively the plaintiff's account of what occurred, and charged the latter with being violent towards him, and amulting him. He said the plain- tiff was very abusive to hint, sad threatened to have his coat off his back. He was obliged to seize the plaintiff by the collar to release his hold on hie (defendant's) throat. He denied using the words of the slander attributed to him. He *Jeer wardeereo tto the plaintiff's shop to remonstrate with him, when the plaintiff again become excited, pulled off his coat, and offered to fight him ; be thrust his beard into his face, upon which the defendant told him to go in doors and shave his nasty dirty baud --(laughter)—addiur that he gave short weight, and he could prove it. The defendant was called, and in the course of his exami nation be said plaintiff said " be bought books of any one," and his father replied, " Than you encourage young thieves." The evidence was very cooflicting, and The Lord Chief Justice in summing up said it was tl be repotted such • mew h•d been brought into this court, because it was man fitted for the aren► of • police court.

This was as action broughtby the plaintiff, a general *gent. carrying on busbies at Dalton, against the defend ants for an alleged wrongful &missal. The defendants pleaded first not guilty, sad, secondly, that the plaintiff mieconducted himself in such a manner during the time that he wee in thew station that they were justified in dismissing him. Mr. Dishy Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Beet wars counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. D.j. and Mr. Morgan Howard for the de. fondants. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff that in the veer 1861) the defendants amalgamated with the British Industry Assurance Company, and upon that be was ap pointed the agent for the hingslarid district, at a salary and commission. He continued in that employ until Sep tember of the present year whom, according to his ac count, the defendants dismissed him without any cause or warning. The plaintiff in cross-examination admitted that he had been somewhat irregular in his returns to the company, but he alleged that the system of business adopted by the de (*adapts led to the necessary biennials of balances against agents, which they could not avoid. He alleged there was no such irregularity ss would justify a dismissal. The defence wee that the plaintiff had habitually neg. looted ir i s duties in not making proper weekly returns of premiums and lapsed policies, and by allowing his balance to increase considerably above the amount that agents were limited to. The ease occupied a considerable time, sod The jury, after being locked up about an hour, returned a verdict for the plaiutd—Damages, 1001. COURT OF COMIdON PLEAS.—DEc. 7.

William Slater (VS) ancikolieadCiiceitheas (30), brick makers, were charged with harts& al Reddish, as the 3rd August, maliciously wounded Thames Wild, with intent to do lihn grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pope and Mr. Addles for Um prosecution; Mr. Ernest Jones and Mr. Cottinglam, for Slater ; Mr. Tarr sad Mr. Edwards for Obestham. Mr. Pope said this was one of tinge COMM connected with trade caphisaticen, and it derived more importance from such • Collllolioll than the mere fact of the samult would indicate. It appeared that • master bricknaker of the name of Meadows, carrying on Wainer at Oldham, used a kind of ha nd machinery foe peaming bricks. He accepted a contract in the neighbourhood of Stockport, sad to carry it out brought over some of hi men, and also his machinery for the preening of bricks. These men belonged to • trade society at Oldham, and they subm. fluently joined a trade society that held its meetings at Stockport. The prisoners were members of the minty, end held office in it. In consequence of some unfortunate dispute, originating in the resistance offered by the society to the introduction of these brick machines, a strike took place amongst Mr. Meadows's men. This strike lasted five or six weeks. The prosecutor, who was one of the turn outs, returned to his work before the termination of the strike, end the dreadful annuli which was subsequently made upon him by • number of men employed in the same trade arose out °tithe fact of his thus sooting at defiance the rules of the trades union. On the evening of the 2nd of August the prosecutor was for the first time put upon night shift at the brick burning kiln. He went on duty about six o'clock, and the other men went away from thew work, leaving him alone is the croft. About 12 o'clock be was awoke by • man, who spoke to him and asked to be allowed to lie down somewhere upon the cinders, as he was tired. The prosecutor sameted, sod then five men ap peared from concealment behind the office, and the men together inflicted upon him an smelt c 4 the most murderous character, and it was only by God's provideees that the man's life was not s. The me beat him with large pieces of wood about the head and body, fracturing one arm, wounding a leg, and invade; him with blood to such an extent that his life was despaired of. Once the poor fellow escaped from them, but his amailants came bask and re newed the attack, filially leaving hint with se expression from one of them, " There • he'll burn no more," meaning more bricks. The prosecu tor then managed to drag himself to his house, having entered which he became insensible. Outrage* of this kind made one pause and fear lest oar civi lisation had not prospered to the extent sometimes boasted of. Of the outrage itself there could be no doubt ; the great question for the jury was as to whether the prisoners were amongst the men who committed it. The evidence upon this was that the prosecutor himself, at the time of I the assault, recognised and swore to both of them. This was the only direct and positive testimony as to the identity of the men in the dock, although there were certain minty and acoessory circumstances which connected them with the affair. Slater, in company with other men, waited upon Mr. Meadows, and remonstrated with him on the employment of Wild. There was evidently, on the part of the society, • determination, if possible, to prevent Wild resuming his employment. On the after noon preceding the outrage Slater came to the brick-croft where Cheethans was working, and conversed with him some time. The progenitor recognised Sitar as the man who came up to him at midloght, and asked to be allowed to sleep somewhere, and recognised clearly both Slater and Cheetham during the attack. Legs of carts were afterwards found. indicating that they had bees used is the emelt. The lint witness' for the prosecution was' Mr. Therese Madeira, briokmaker, who spoke to a mane to make bricks at Messrs. Holdsworth ■ works at Reddish; to the turnout of 36 men on amount of the am of a machine ; to the return oft Wild aed others before the 'bike terminated ; sod to the interview Cheatham bed with him (Yr. Meadows), promising that the ',uremia should return to their work if Wild sod his oompaaioes were discharged; sod to his refusal to adopt say such course. John Molloy sod John Coital-ill, two lade employed as brick carriers in the croft, proved that as the tad August they saw Slater go to the clayhole wham Cherithem was working (some of the men having by this time returned to their work), and that both the prisoners coavereed together for some time. . _ _ Wild, the prosecutor, was subjected to a long aces-examina- Con by Mr. Jones and Mr. Torn, bet nothing materially different to his examination-in-chief wee elicited. The sub 'tame of his evidence was, that at midnight on the god August, it being fine weather, Slater came to him is the brickstroft and asked to be allowed to lie down. While pointing out a piece where be might lie, five other men came from behind the office, heeded by Cheatham. They said " Where is this prewar r He replied that he did not know. Slater then pulled him on the ground. and Chest ham struck him with a beery pleas of wood across the eye. The other men were all the time striking him with heavy pieces of wood, or kicking him. The men went away, but shortly came back and renewed the attack. He spin recog nised the prisoners amongst theca. He cried out, and Cheatham swore at him and told him to hold his noise. He managed to crawl to his oottage, MO yards off, sad there became insensible. Before the mew wept my they said, " Hell born no more." The prosecutor's wife 'poke to the proetrate state in which her husband returned home. _ _ Polioe-constatde John Smith staid that on the morning following the assault he want to the prossoutoes, who me him a deseriptioirof the prisoners and their names, and he went and apprehended them. Mr. N. Ball, surgeon, Heaton Norris, said he attended the prosecutor on the day after the emelt. He was suf. tering from a wound under the right eye, bruises an various parts of his body, a punctured wound upon his right arm, • fracture of the boos of the arm, a wound upon the left shin, • broken bone in the long finger of the right hand, and other injuries which placed his life in great danger. The cart log found on the ground by Wild's wife might have inflicted the wounds. For five days his life was in danger. Inspector Richmond, of the county polio*, stated that he took the priconer's to the bedside of the prosecutor on the 4th August, and ,Lbe latter identified them at once, and positively. Witneeses were celled for the defence. - The jury retired, and is twenty initiates refused with a •erdict that Slater sod Holland were Guilty, and they were sentenced to 20 yam' penal servitude. PhESIMYYMIT OF THE ORA= AMT. At the close of their duties, this morning, the grand jury =acts the following presentment :—" The grand jury of the county of JAWZAW/f st the Manchester winter arises for 1864, do hereby present that the prospect of public execu tions in Manchester, sent on the transfer of the as sizes to Manchester. is to • matter of ggrreaaatt anxiety.
